Years ago, my wife and I came across a list of the top 25 museums in the USA. We have now visited 23, with two on the schedule. The American Museum of Visionary Art is a wonderful place, reserved only for the work of artists who have not received formal training in art. One of our favorite areas is the... More

This is a really fun, quircky museum that is a welcome departure from some of the stuffier "traditional" museums. Much of the art is produced by self-taught artists using all sorts of mediums. Very fun place to spend a few hours. More

Quite different from other art museums. Every space has something different. Enjoyed the biographies of the artists. The gift shop was a pleasant adventure too as I bought some unique jewelry. More

The American Visionary Art Museum is a must see experience! The gift shop is awesome, with unusual merchandise and art from all over the world. Check out the July 4th Pet Parade and the Kinetic Sculpture Race too! More

And that gives one an indication of the types of exhibits offered here. Regrettably, we did not spend enough time to peruse the entire museum but we did cover enough of it to enjoy what... More

Loved this museum and it would be a great place to bring children ten years and up for inspiration. As an adult, I also loved it and spent 3 hours here. They also have a wonderful gift shop. The thing I liked most is that it inspires you to look around you and use everyday items as art. Very green... More
