American Visionary Arts Museum

This place is amazing… my family are members here. So much stuff to see, look, laugh, and smile at, you can easily spend a whole day here!

The American Visionary Arts Museum is shockingly good. The draw is that everything here was created by untrained artists, many of whom were considered during their lives to have nothing valuable to contribute to society. And some of the artists weren’t even human. It will challenge your assumptions about art and perception.

And it’s got the best gift shop on Earth.

My favorite museum, period.

Was here on the 14th with a group from school. It was mostly art history students, and then us four graphic designers. We ditched the art history group (they were going to The Walters & the BMA) and struck out on our own. We spent the day exploring the museum – absolutely incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun at a museum before!!

I haven’t been here for a while, but it’s always got cool art.
