Goldwell Open Air Museum

The outdoor museum presents seven monumental sculptures against the Mojave Desert landscape, including life-sized figures and abstract installations spanning 7.8 acres.

Belgian artist Albert Szukalski initiated the museum in 1984 by creating The Last Supper sculpture using plaster-soaked burlap draped over live models.

International artists contribute diverse works, from chrome car parts formations to cinder block structures, reflecting various interpretations of contemporary desert art.

Located 120 miles northwest of Las Vegas and 4 miles west of Beatty, the museum remains accessible every day without admission fees.

The Desert Flower sculpture incorporates salvaged automobile parts from the surrounding desert, transforming discarded materials into a permanent artistic statement.
