American Visionary Art Museum - expert review
Look for the Whirligig, a 55-foot wind-powered sculpture at the front of this curvaceous building. Step inside, and you'll be entranced from the moment you set your eyes on Emery Blagdon's Healing Machines mobile hanging down three stories. Visionary art is created by people who lack artistic traini...
