Hi, Kristi,

I hope all is well with you. I want to tell you about a museum I visited this weekend. It had strange
but funny paintings.

It is the Museum of Bad Art, MOBA. It is in the basement of

the Dedham Community Theatre. I went there because I was
very curios. Could the paintings be that bad? When I went
inside there were lots of people and everyone was laughing.
The first painting I saw was of a dog that looked like a 5-year-
old had drawn it. I burst out laughing. Another one showed
the Mona Lisa but let’s just say differently. I visited the whole
museum and I swear I’ve never laughed that hard in months. I
loved it.

Maybe next month I will go and visit the Brookline MOBA

because I want to see more of these paintings. I’m attaching
here some photos of the paintings I found on the internet
because we weren’t allowed to take pictures in the museum.

Love, Joana
