The Museum Of Bad Art, MOBA
MOBA is the world’s only museum dedicated to the collection, exhibition, and
celebration of art that would not be welcomed to any traditional art museum.
Our collection includes sincere art in which something has gone wrong in a way
that results in a compelling, interesting image.
You can visit MOBA galleries in Boston and in Quebec City.

Meet the MOBA Staff
WSBE RI PBS (Rhode Island Public Broadcast System) came all the way to Boston to learn about the Museum Of Bad Art. The result is a 7-minute video introducing MOBA’s people, history, and art. It was broadcast on their weekly show, Art, Inc. and is now available on YouTube.
If you want to meet Curator-in-chief Michael Frank and Permanent Interim Acting Executive Director Louise Reilly Sacco, aka Mike and Louise, take a look here.
