Darger Museum

The Darger Museum is dedicated to the work and life of Henry Darger, a reclusive American artist and writer known for his vast, intricate illustrated manuscripts and novels. Celebrating outsider art, the museum showcases Darger's detailed, fantastical illustrations and writings, which reflect complex themes of innocence, trauma, and imagination. It provides insight into his creative process and offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a self-taught artist who authored one of the most remarkable, imaginative worlds in art history. The museum serves as a space to honor and preserve his unique contribution to outsider art and literary culture.
