A really unique museum
Friday, March 17, 2006
If you're expecting Matisse and Monet, this isn't the museum. If you are looking for "different" art and are willing to define the word "visionary" pretty darn broadly, then give the American Visionary Art Museum a chance. This place features amateur artists, and really de-emphasizes your standard wall-label and Old Masters' museum shtick. However, the downside is that some of the stuff verges on downright creepy. Do you really want to see a ton of artwork completed by inmates of state penitentiaries? Yes? Well, come on in!
