The Museum Of Bad Art is a wonderful monument to the work of unrecognized bad artists everywhere. The prized donations to the museum ("the trash" being the main benefactor) are lovingly restored and preserved for everyone to admire on the Internet.

Among the core pieces of the permanent collection: "Lucy In The Field With Flowers," "Eileen," and "The Athlete." The pseudointellectual descriptions of the paintings are priceless too, a parody of the pretentious, overreaching descriptions commonly found in art museums. "Circus of Despair" has a caption of: "This joyous, frightful circus romp is emblematic of, and yet somehow transcends, Unknown's entire body of work." Or take this assessment of "Peter the Kitty:" "Stirring in its portayal of feline angst. Is Peter hungry or contemplating his place in a hungry world? The artist has evoked both hopelessness and glee with his irrational use of negative space."
