Review:
The American Visionary Art Museum is an eclectic art museum located within Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood, known for its unique displays of outsider art, intuitive art, and art brut works. The 1.1-acre museum campus is home to 67,000 square feet of exhibition space, which showcases a permanent collection of more than 4,000 unique works of art. Artists on display include luminaries and visionaries such as Vanessa German, Howard Finster, Mr. Imagination, Nek Chand, and Ho Baron, along with artists from the Cabaret Mechanical Theater of London.
As the Congress-declared national museum of self-taught art, the museum also emphasizes unique works by ordinary citizen artists, with an emphasis on those with marginalized positions in society. Annual special events include the acclaimed Flicks From the Hill outdoor film series.
