A small but extraordinary museum dedicated to self-taught and outsider art, including a meticulously reconstructed room from the studio of Henry Darger, one of the most fascinating outsider artists in history. The collection is intimate and genuinely unlike anything else in the city. It's a true insider's pick that most tourists never find. Plan for 60–90 minutes and go with an open, curious mind.
