American Visionary Art Museum

This museum near Baltimore’s waterfront features quirky and unconventional art (we won’t talk about the farting contest pillar, for example). As the American Visionary Art Museum describes itself, they “specialize in original thematic exhibitions that seamlessly combine art, science, philosophy, humor, and especially social justice and betterment.” Photos were only allowed outdoors, so I can’t show you any examples of the indoor exhibits.

Everyone needs a silver mosaic egg, right?
