The Museum Of Bad Art, Dedham
Maybe not a reason to go to Boston…
But if you’re already in Boston this is a fun pit stop to make. This is a really small museum in a movie theater’s basement. And the art is just horrendously bad. Truly, the name is what it is.
The art isn’t bad in the sense that it’s not your style or taste. It might not even be bad in the sense of incompetent technique: certainly, I’m capable of this kind of art. No. While bad technique may be part of the mix, it isn’t required. It is usually the work of someone who is trying for high art and missing the bar in a cringeworthy style.
What can I say? You’ve just got to see it to believe it.
