Home to the single largest public repository of works by Henry Darger, The American Folk Art Museum re-opened its doors in December of 2001 after several identity changes  of name and location since the early 1960s. Now permanently housed in a gorgeous architectural feat, the museum hosts a number of programs and events that promote a deeper understanding and broader appreciation of self-taught art. Currently on view, until September 21, is an impressive exhibit that demonstrates Darger's pervasive influence on contemporary art, featuring the works of Amy Cutler, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Justine Kurland, and others - all of which are a surprise to see in this setting.
