Travelers who are interested in contemporary art can visit the original art museum located in the American city of Dedem. In the Museum of Poor Art, the collection of unique works is presented, each of which can at least be described as strange. The first branch of the museum in Dedem was opened in 1993, when its founder, the antiques dealer Skott Wilson, had the rather large collection of paintings.

Museum of Bad Art, USA He bought the pictures on the usual flea markets. The museum founder chose the most curious and often strange pictures he has ever seen. Later, the museum collection became larger, so it was decided to open a branch of the museum in Sommerville. A few years ago the third branch of the museum was opened in Brookline. Today, the Museum of Poor Art is a true landmark of the world, whose collection has inspired millions of painters worldwide.

The paintings presented in the museum, which were once found in the flea markets, aroused the attention of the art collectors. In 1996 the image 'Aileen' was stolen from the museum, and in 2004 the self-portrait of Rebecca Harris was stolen. The first picture was not found, and the second picture the thief personally returned to the museum. Thousands of painters worldwide dream of seeing their own works in the museum of Skott Wilson. It is not so easy to gain a place in the collection of the well-known art dealer. The picture has to be 'so bad, that you simply could not ignore it'. Next - Museum of Snowflakes
