"A truly one-of-a-kind museum, don’t come here expecting to see run-of-the-mill works of art. A celebration of creativity, the AVAM specializes in “outsider art,” or works created by untrained artists. The permanent collection includes everything from painted screens, which have been a Baltimore row home institution since 1913, to sculptures built with matchsticks. Be sure to stop in SIDESHOW for a quirky souvenir. It might be the best gift shop in the history of museums." - Planit
