There’s a museum dedicated to bad art!

The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) contains over 500 pieces of art so bad that it shouldn’t be ignored. At one time 25-35 pieces are available for viewing. The museum is privately owned and has two branches in Massachusetts.

It started up with Scott Wilson pulling out a bad piece of art from the garbage and then starting a collection. He began doing showings of his collection and they were so popular that he had to find a permanent display for them. MOBA is mentioned in over a dozen Boston area guides.

You can take a Google Streetview tour of the house from ‘A Christmas Story!’

When you type in ‘A Christmas Story House, Cleveland, OH’ the house from the film comes up on the Streetview. The story is set in Hammond, Indiana, the hometown of the film’s writer, but it was actually filmed in Cleveland, Ohio. The town was so cooperative with the filming that they donated antique and classic cars for shooting.

It made the film seem really authentic. Ralphie’s school was actually filmed in Toronto, Canada, though. The house has been restored and is open to the public for viewing year round.
