Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art — Museum Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"So, what’s this place about? Among the only museums in the world dedicated wholly to outsider art, Intuit is an impressive shrine to self-taught creators across all forms of media. Beyond an unassuming, brick facade you’ll brush up against a concise-yet-vibrant collection of paintings, sculptures, and assorted ephemera. How’s the space? This is a whimsical environment with an industrial edge. Exhibits are spread out with ample room for wandering and gazing at your leisure. The art’s the main thing, of course. How is it? Intuit is dedicated to the artistic output of marginalized creatives who had to find alternative means through which to express their creative impulses. That through-line is strongly felt in the space. The collected work draws you in with an air of unconventional audacity. Did you meet anyone on staff? Did they make an impression? The team at this Chicago museum curates a thorough and diverse collection of exhibits that champions outsider art, and an engaging, knowledgeable guest services team greets visitors and helps to enhance the experience. At the end of the day, what—or who—is this place best for? If you want to explore the outer edges of artistic inspiration, come spend an afternoon here, for sure. If you're more drawn to the classics of a national museum, it might be a bit too avant-garde." - Brad Japhe
