This blog has never paid a visit to Azerbaijan (say that twenty times fast) but I’m guessing not many people go there. First of all, where is it? And how do you pronounce it? Oh, and do they have a Starbucks? Between Turkey and the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan is a...
This is all over the internet, but I had to repost because I am a bit obsessed with architecture and abandonment. An artist named Ofra Lapid, who lives and works in Tel-Aviv, wastes time on the internet like the rest of us. But she actually does something productive with her...
You’ve heard of the pop-up store and pop-up restaurant, but apparently the pop-up museum is also becoming a thing. The Museum of Feelings, located at Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan’s Battery Park, is a pop-up installation devoted to sights and smells. The idea of making emotions “touchable” is not new...
Since it started in 2006, the Sadness Museum has traveled to many places throughout the United States. Makes sense. Who really goes in search of sadness? It usually comes to you. It is the first museum of its kind where the so-called visitors are the curators. You can send “sad”...
I might have looked forward to eating lunch every day if my single mother, who happened to be an artist, had done this while I was growing up. But, you know, I guess she was too busy going to school, working three jobs, and shuffling me off to various babysitters...
I don’t usually reblog random artwork, but I just love this idea: movie stars wearing Frank Lloyd Wright architecture.

For thousands of years a small town in Japan has grown lots and lots of rice, but it wasn’t until 1993 that the town turned the rice into public art. Seen as a clever way to draw in tourist revenue, the people of Inakadate started their project with a simple...
Once upon a time I told you guys about the Paint By Number Museum, an online archive of over 6,000 paint by number artworks dating back to the 1950s. In 2008 a private collector in Massachusetts began buying pieces from eBay and other American collectors to create his archive. In...
Happy February 29th! Leap Year happens every four years so make that shit count by doing something really really important today, like wasting an extra hour or two on the internet. That’s what I plan to do. Apparently there are no Leap Year Museums. Disappointment all around. I was going...
Who knew Liechtenstein had so many interesting museums? This country of 60 square miles and a population of 35,000 has all the expected art and history museums. But there’s also the Calculator and Typewriter Museum, Ski Museum and Postage Stamp Museum. I don’t even know what to say. I feel...
