American Visionary Art Museum: Celebrating Outsider Art and Raw Creativity

American Visionary Art Museum: Celebrating Outsider Art and Raw Creativity

The American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) houses an extraordinary collection of self-taught, or 'outsider,' art, honoring unfiltered creativity free from traditional art world conventions.

Spanning two buildings and two sculpture parks, discover intricate broken-mirror collages, handmade robots and flying machines, elaborate needlepoint sculptures, and massive model ships crafted from matchsticks. Don't miss the whimsical automatons in the Cabaret Mechanical Theater or the iconic Flatulence Post and its humorous 'fart art' in the Basement Gallery.

Be sure to visit the renowned gift shop—praised by filmmaker John Waters as “the best museum gift shop you’ve ever been to in your life”—for unique souvenirs.

Exhibitions

Alongside its permanent collection of intuitive, self-taught artworks, AVAM presents rotating temporary exhibitions.

Tickets

Book tickets online in advance with your preferred timed entry slot. Admission is free for members and children 6 and under.
