remote Mojave Desert museum
Camera: K-x Photo Location: near Beatty/Rhyolite, NV 
Posted By: Bob Harris, 01-15-2011, 10:47 PM

Located in a remote area of the Mojave Desert, is the Goldwell Open Air Museum. Known for many years in Europe as the sculptor of “ghosts” and a “situation maker,” Albert Szukalski came to the Nevada desert in 1984 to create what is perhaps the most unique piece of his career. Originally designed to endure a mere two years, “The Last Supper” sculpture has not only stood the test of time, but has lived on to become the “genesis” piece of the Goldwell Open Air Museum. The area is subject to 120 degree days in the summer, 70mph desert winds and freezing temps during the winter. This is a very unique find and many other artists have added to the site.

there is no charge to vagabonds or Pentax camera owners, I qualified for both.

We are about 30 miles from Joshua Tree NM, will probably visit there again, but this time I want to take a Jeep trail over the mountain and drop down into the parki. I will post photos of me getting stuck, and the views when we visit in a couple of weeks
Jer, looks like I finally visited a place that you haven't. thanks Bob

Thanks, here are a few extra I took and the last 2 modified a bit by changing the blue sky to black and adding a little black to the other. Sort of eerie, what do you think?
