Seriously... A Home For Bad Art

What were they thinking?

THE UNBELIEVABLE: A museum for the art world's unwanted outcasts

THE CULPRIT: Michael Frank, the curator-in-chief of The Museum of Bad Art

THE DOWN-LOW:The Museum of Bad Art, nicknamed "MOBA," pays homage to art found at thrift stores and yard sales and, sometimes, discarded pieces found on trash night. Frank decides which pitiful pieces get the glory of hanging on the walls of the museum's three galleries. Some of the museum's worst include a puppy with yellow eyes and forehead resembling a snowy mountain, a portrait of a blue-skinned mother with a magenta-skinned daughter and a piece disturbingly titled "Retch Like an Egyptian."

THE UNNECESSARY FACTS: MOBA's tagline is "Art too bad to be ignored." There is a section of the collection devoted entirely to portraits of blue-skinned people. How can you tell when a work of art is bad enough to be considered truly bad? According to Frank, you know it when you see it.
