Came across this today. Especially the collection highlights on Wikipedia [0] really made my day. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Bad_Art#Collection_h...

No pictures though. Wish I could see some sample of the art.

This is said to be the most iconic work in the collection:

What's wrong with the page? I can't select the address to copy & paste it into maps. Please don't break the web.

Browsers should come with an option to ignore `user-select` rules.

It's worse than that, they're using some lame WordPress plugin called wp-content-copy-protector to hijack shorcuts to copy or view source as well. Really hostile and yet ridiculously easy to bypass.

Honestly, most of them are still better than I could draw.

We can finally classify art as bad now?

Oh, they moved! I think they used to be in Somerville below the Somerville theater.

I went there this past Summer. It isn't advertised externally. Look for the brewery.

I didn't realize it had relocated from near the bathrooms in the basement of the Somerville Theater.

If this would have been the most prestigious and highly regarded Art I wouldn´t be able to tell the difference.

A morbid wish. Something like wanting to look at photos from a murder investigation.
