Museum of Bad Art, Art museum in Dorchester, Boston, United States.
The Museum of Bad Art displays a rotating selection of 35 pieces from its collection of 700 artworks inside Dorchester Brewing Company.
The museum originated in 1993 when antique dealer Scott Wilson discovered a painting called Lucy in the Field with Flowers between trash cans.
The collection features original artworks with unintentional imperfections, created by artists whose sincere efforts resulted in unexpected artistic outcomes.
Located at 1250 Massachusetts Avenue, the museum offers free admission during the brewery's operating hours from 11:30 AM until late evening.
Each exhibited piece undergoes rigorous selection, with curators rejecting ninety percent of submissions for not meeting their standards of unsuccessful art.
