Ms. Lendacky visits the Visionary Art Museum

This past Sunday I took some time to visit a local museum. The American Visionary Art Museum houses art made by artists who are self taught (they did not go to a special school to learn art). My favorite part of the museum was the kinetic sculpture gallery. Here are a few photos of outside the building (no photos were allowed inside).
