From Mowa: "The Museum Of Weird Art (Mowa) is a virtual community of like-minded people who share a passion for art and weird art in particular.

"As ‘weird’ is somehow a subjective label, it should be interpreted in a very broad sense. We interpret it mainly as a counterbalance for the overload of conventional art that is out there, and hence focus on art that goes beyond the traditional approach.

"The Mowa gallery is updated on a constant basis. New additions to the gallery will be announced on the site and via our social media channels Facebook & Twitter.

"If you have valuable content/information that is interesting for Mowa, you can fill out the submission form here.

"Mowa was founded by mx and his son Dado in the year 2005. They both live in Ghent/Belgium."
