Museum Of Bad Art offers opportunities which are too good to be ignored!

The world's only museum dedicated to bad art will present 'art too bad to be ignored' in the UK, in Spring 2018.

The world-famous Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) will debut in Europe in Spring 2018, displaying best-loved pieces and some new acquisitions from UK.

MOBA exhibits in their gallery in Somerville, Massachusetts. MOBA celebrates the artist's right to fail and demonstrates a real appreciation for these efforts.

About MOBA

"The Museum Of Bad Art Has Been Celebrating Failure Since 1994", Vice

"Most of us are familiar with artworks, proudly presented, which look like they've been produced by a four-year-old at playgroup. But now rather than simply congratulating your friend/relative on their talentlessness you can suggest they make a contribution to Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA), an institution that only takes art so bad it can't be ignored", The Independent

"Founded in 1994, the volunteer-run museum has since received attention from around the world, and critics from the New York Times to Harvard scholars have expounded on its influence. MOBA has even released two books", Today.com
