User Reviews for Museum of Bad Art

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Why would anyone want to venture out to Dedham when they can attend any number of local galleries to see bad art? Sure, once in a while, something comes through that's good, even great such as that you find at the African American Masters Artists in Residency in JP or the African Winter gallery (and no, I'm not African American, just an appreciator of great art). But overall, it seems the fad of being an artist has everyone jumping on the bandwagon, and most should get off.

Pros: None

Cons: Needless waste of time

4 Star Rating: Recommended

well, this isnt so much of a review, as it is a comment. I think this place sounds great and I am excitied about going one day. A lot of people that I know would rather see something original and different. Great idea!:)

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

When youve had too much pompous and circumspect from Degas, Picasso, and Klees in the big museums down town this is a sanctuary and refuge. It helps reorientation and appreciate your perspective.

Pros: The great coffee shops and restaurants near by

Cons: Bathrooms

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Editor's Review

Unassuming basement of a movie theater houses a brilliant collection of less-than-stellar art.  See the full editorial review.
