Seattle’s Official Bad Art Museum of Art (aka OBAMA), Seattle

Seattle’s Official Bad Art Museum of Art (aka OBAMA), Seattle

A 9-minute walk from the Edgewater Hotel up Wall Street to 1st Avenue takes you to the irreverent and decidedly tacky (in a good way) Seattle’s Official Bad Art Museum of Art. Located in the back of Juniors, a vintage store, you see art that can be best described as truly awful. It’s a lot of fun and browsing Juniors store afterwards with its offbeat gift items and collectables make this a fun stop. Admission free.
