American Visionary Art Museum

Top choice in Baltimore


Housing a jaw-dropping collection of self-taught (or 'outsider' art), American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) is a celebration of unbridled creativity utterly free of arts-scene pretension. 

Across two buildings and two sculpture parks, you'll find broken-mirror collages, homemade robots and flying apparatuses, elaborate sculptural works made of needlepoint, and gigantic model ships painstakingly created from matchsticks. The whimsical automatons in the Cabaret Mechanical Theater are worth a closer look. And don't miss the famous Flatulence Post and its, er, 'fart art' in the Basement Gallery.

Leave time to explore the gift store (reportedly described by filmmaker John Waters as 鈥渢he best museum gift shop you鈥檝e ever been to in your life鈥) to pick up a souvenir.  

Exhibitions

As well as a permanent exhibition of intuitive and self-taught art works, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions.

Tickets
