I love cultural landmarks like the Museum of Science Boston and Museum of Fine Arts Boston, but they are not the only ball game in town. New England has its share of offbeat museums that feature themes definitely focusing on the road less taken. Here are a few unique museums in New England that tend to fly under the cultural radar:<\/p>\n

Museum of Bad Art, <\/strong>Dedham, Mass.<\/strong> Located in the decrepit basement of \u00a0the otherwise beautiful Dedham Community Theater in Dedham, Mass., the Museum of Bad Art showcases the world’s worst art. The curators collect these artistic atrocities\u00a0from some unknown amateurs, dusty attics, thrift stores, yard sales and trash cans. The Museum of Bad Art bills its collection as “Art too bad to be ignored.” As an added bonus, the Museum is located right next to the restroom (which is bigger than the museum). Admission is free, thank goodness!\u00a0580 High St. Tel.\u00a0(781) 444-6757<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
