The Goldwell Open Air Museum is an outdoor museum in the middle of the Mojave Desert, with several sculptures from different artists.  It’s located in between Beatty, NV and Death Valley National Park.  And, it’s just 1-mile south of the ghost town of Rhyolite, making it a popular destination.  The sculptures are located out in the open, so they’re accessible 24/7.

Here’s a description from Goldwell Museum’s official website:
“Goldwell exists because artists from afar chose the Mojave Desert as a place to make work freely, in contrast with their practice in Europe. Those experiences led several of them to create the large scale, on-site sculptures that define Goldwell as a destination. There are few other places where such art-making activities could have taken place; the desert is integral to their work.”
