Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum

Ten acres of large-scale assemblage sculpture built from salvage by Noah Purifoy, free and open to the sky.

Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum is in Joshua Tree. It suits desert art with no crowds.

There is no admission charge. Hours: Sunrise to sunset.

This is an outdoor activity. From May through September, go at or before sunrise, carry more water than you think you need, and treat midday heat as a hard stop. It works with kids in tow.
