Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Museum

Noah Purifoy moved from Los Angeles to the desert of Joshua Tree in search of the perfect place to express his creativity. He found a piece of land, 15 acres in the town of Joshua Tree, where he spent 15 years filling up the whole place with amazing art works.

An art exhibit that makes for a unique JT experience. It's different and makes you think out of the box. The desert is already a surreal place & this outdoor art installation adds to the eerie feeling

SAT/SUN SUGGESTED: Sprawling outdoor desert art installation , using found objects (old tires , bicycles , etc), Easily found on Google Maps. Worth a visit! In the open sun, so watch the heat!

Fun place to explore some unique art . Clearly the work of a strong vision, well worth a stop to get a view on a certain period of art in a one of a kind location.

Seemingly out in the middle of nowhere is this sprawling outdoor desert museum made of found art from junked materials, like bicycles atop of a teeter-totter on a wooden cabin-like structure . Read more

The foundation that takes care of the art site asks that all visitor RSVP prior to visiting. Email tarashall@att.net before going. The museum has no fence so technically you can visit it anytime.

Artist Noah Purifoy's sprawling outdoor desert art installation , using mostly found objects (old tires , bicycles , etc), Easily found on Google Maps. Worth a visit!

Rotting, decrepit assemblage art from a post apocalyptic wasteland. One of my favorite places on earth. The art here is dangerous and will injure you, so wear sturdy shoes .

Super tiny but definitely a neat pit stop. Nestled in the back of some shops so it might be a little difficult to figure out how to get to. You can check out the surrounding art & gallery. - Krista marie Imus
