Get To Know Boston's Kitschy Side
Most tourists in Boston walk the line or catch a game, but the city has a few hidden, kitschy treasures that are worth seeing too.
The Ghosts and Gravestones Boston Frightseeing Tour will take you on a 90 minute tour of the city’s most haunted sites by foot and trolley. The stroll brings you through 400-year-old cemeteries, haunted spots like the Omni Parker Hotel, and some of Boston’s most chilling murder locations.
Here’s where the kitsch comes in: Every tour is guided by a “character” like the cursed privateer, a pyromaniac circus ringleader, a demon spat out of the pits of Hades, a homicidal opera diva, or a deranged nanny. Tickets can be purchased online for $32.50.
For more kitschy fun, minus the crazy tour guides, take the T to Davis and check out the Somerville Theater, right next door to the subway station. The theater is home to the Musesum of Bad Art, the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms. The gallery is open and free with a ticket to any movie playing at the Somerville Theater.
