On this episode of Our American Stories, most museums exist to showcase the finest achievements in art and culture. The Museum of Bad Art does the opposite. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, MOBA proudly collects paintings that miss the mark so completely they become unforgettable. From A Mariachi in Tiananmen Square to Self Portrait as a Bird, the museum celebrates art that tries hard, fails spectacularly, and refuses to be ignored.

Curator Louise Reilly Sacco shares how the Museum of Bad Art began, how these strange works are selected, and why MOBA has become a cult favorite for people who love museums, modern art, and the joy of creativity without pretension.
