Want to know more about the Museum of Bad Art? Of course you do!

A little MOBA history

The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is a community-based, private institution dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms and in all its glory.

MOBA was founded in the fall of 1993 and presented its first show in March 1994. The response was overwhelming. Since then, MOBA's collection and ambitions have grown exponentially.

Initially, MOBA was housed in the basement of a private home in Boston. This meager exhibition space limited the museum to being a regional cultural resource for the New England area.

As the only museum dedicated to bringing the worst of art to the widest of audiences we felt morally compelled to explore new, more creative ways of bringing this priceless collection of quality bad art to a global audience. Another Boston-area cultural institution, Dedham Community Theatre, generously allowed MOBA the use of their basement. Our first permanent gallery is now conveniently located just outside the men’s room in a 1927 movie theatre. The ambience created such a convivial atmosphere, that when we went looking for a second location, the only place that was up to our quality standards was another theatre basement. The Somerville Theater in Davis Square, Somerville MA is now our second gallery.

To this end, we now exhibit online (you found it!), publish an email newsletter called MOBA News, have a virtual gallery available on CD-ROM, and offer the popular book Museum of Bad Art : Art Too Bad To Be Ignored.

This one reveals the hidden truth. Alinsky didn't just write Obama's biographies, he's actually donated an eye to the cause so he can help direct the man-made disaster.

Alas, it's unneccessary for him to have done so, since Obama's notorious for using too many I's as it is.

This one stumped me. I’m not sure if that is the Beaver, a Pelosi-Obama love child, or if it a depiction of Pelosi’s repressed desire to be a young minority boy so she too could add “playing the victim” -and the pecker she’s always envied- to her bag of sleazy tricks.
