American Visionary Art Museum: Ways of Seeing

What’s visionary art? It’s the creative endeavor of self-taught artists, who express themselves in whatever medium their inner voice describes. When it comes to the American Visionary Art Museum, that means it can be it can be art made with toothpicks, yarn, bottle caps, old watches, and fishing line, as well as paint and clay. You get to experience a variety of fantastic creations, including a replica of the Lusitania made entirely of toothpicks, a throne crafted from bottle caps, and a bench covered with whoopee cushions! This isn’t your grandmother’s stodgy museum where paintings are carefully placed and bored security guards stand in the corner asleep on their feet. It’s exciting, stimulating, and fun. Admission is $15.95 for adults, $13.95 for seniors, and $9.95 for children and students.
