Museum of Bad Art

Located in the basement of the local movie theatre, the Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is a much-needed salute to Salvation Army Salvadore Dalis. The only part of this museum that is more genius than its very existence is the descriptions of the painting themselves. Only bummer: They were out of catalogs when I went but I got the Pablo Presley t-shirt and some notecards! It truly is "Art too bad to be ignored."
