This is one of the most interesting museums you will ever go to. An entire museum devoted to untrained artists who have just been compelled to make art for one reason or another. Many of the works are done by people who have dealt with and suffered from mental health issues, and art was either an outlet or coping mechanism. The works in the permanent collection on display were done with an incredible amount of love and obsession. Their changing exhibitions also touch on one point or another - and I've seen a great one on alien abduction years ago.

The museum opens people's eyes to who is allowed to make art and what we call art. The building itself is also beautiful and crazy - a true reflection of the Baltimore art world. Colorful, random, and just a trip. I love this place and try and visit every time I am in Baltimore.
