About MOBA
Since 1994, the Museum of Bad Art has been dedicated to bad art. It is only through the efforts of the worldwide Friends of MOBA that we have been able to carry out our mission: to bring the worst of art to the widest of audiences.
MOBA maintains this web site as well as a bricks-and-mortar museum in the basement of the Dedham Community Theatre in Dedham Square, MA. Through traveling exhibits, special events, and changing exhibits, we share the best bad art ever assembled in one museum.
Our collection numbers almost 400 pieces, but due to limited exhibition space, we show 30 to 40 at a time. Each piece is presented with the kind of descriptive narrative you will find with the art here.
