The Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Museum of Assemblage Sculpture is located at:

63030 Blair Lane, Joshua Tree, California

Set your GPS for this address and follow the zigzag through the Mojave back roads of the town of Joshua Tree. This is an unusual trip well worth your time. See the bio for Mr. Purifoy an amazing artist and visionary listed at the end of this post.

WELCOME I have visited this museum a few times since moving to the desert. Each time I notice more intimate details in the displays. I admire his use of recycled materials to re-create, re-design, re-imagine what so many of us see as junk and transformed to works of art and self-expression. It’s amazing how it all stands up to the weather extremes of the high desert. If I didn’t practice minimalism I would probably try this for myself. But where would I put it?

Adrian’s little theater on a side yard of the museum’s acreage
reminds me of an Alexander Calder design
an ubiquitous Joshua Tree

There are some roads surrounding the museum that are worth backroading…..Nothing too strenuous just some fun dirt roads with interesting plants, dunes and neighboring architecture.
