AMERICAN VISIONARY ART MUSEUM (AVAM) is America’s official national museum and education center for self-taught, intuitive artistry. The 1.1-acre wonderland campus includes 3 renovated historic industrial buildings that house wonders created by farmers, housewives, mechanics, retired folk, the homeless, as well as the occasional neurosurgeon–all inspired by the fire within. Using materials from ro

ots to toothpicks, the visionary transforms dreams and loss into powerful works of art. Museum and store hours: 10am-5pm, Wednesday-Sunday
