Desert Christ Park, Sculpture garden in Yucca Valley, California, United States.

Desert Christ Park is a sculpture garden in the Yucca Valley desert with roughly 40 large white concrete figures depicting biblical moments. The works are arranged across the open grounds, mixing religious expression with artistic forms set against the barren desert landscape.

Antone Martin, a former aircraft worker, began sculpting the figures in steel-reinforced concrete in the mid-1940s, during the Cold War atomic bomb scare, hoping they would inspire global peace. He died in 1961 at 74. The park was neglected from 1988 to 1996 while the ACLU sued San Bernardino County over church-state separation; a nonprofit foundation then took over and renovated it.

Antone Martin, a former aircraft worker, built the figures out of steel-reinforced concrete from the mid-1940s, hoping they would inspire global peace during the Cold War atomic bomb scare. The ensemble includes the Twelve Apostles, Martha, Mary and angels around a 15-foot, 3-ton Jesus modelled on Rio's Christ the Redeemer. Visitors walk among the statues on open desert ground.

The grounds are open during daylight and free to visit, with easy-to-find entrances along the roadside. The open, level ground is simple to walk across, and there is plenty of space to explore between the sculptures.

The white statues shift in appearance throughout the day as the sun changes the desert sky and casts different shadows. These light changes make each visit a distinct visual experience, especially at sunrise or sunset.
