Least valuable art collection in a public museum

The Museum of Bad Art's (MOBA) collection in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, has the lowest value of any public museum's art collection: its 573 works are worth a total of just $1,197.35 (£734) - an average of $2.09 (£1.21) apiece. The MOBA is the only museum in the world to be dedicated to the worst excesses of creative endeavour. The maximum amount paid for a work of art is $11.50 (£7.05). Most works are either pulled from trash heaps or donated. In 1998 the museum held the first drive-through car wash and art exhibition in the world, "Awash with bad art", a charity event for the salvation Army.
