Near the ghost town of Rhyolite, just east of Death Valley National Park, this outdoor sculpture park was begun in 1984 by the late Belgian artist Albert Szukalski with his haunting version of Da Vinci's Last Supper. Other Belgian friends soon joined him and added further, often bizarre, sculptures. Today there are seven sculptures as well as a visitor center and a small store.
