East Jesus is a sacred place for scrap art in the desert, described as an interesting, cool, funky, and bizarre experience. It features many wonderful and large-scale art installations made from what society throws away, including robots, aliens, smashed TVs, dismembered mannequins, and old cars. The desert serves as a blank canvas for this creativity, where trash finds purpose and is turned into masterpieces. The grounds are a place of freedom of expression with no boundaries, constantly evolving with new works. It would take a full day to see all the works in detail, so visitors are encouraged to plan a trip with plenty of time to soak up all the magic and perspective. Located near the historical monument Salvation Mountain, it is considered definitely worth a visit. The property has room to expand for more interesting art sculptures. Visitors highly recommend the experience and are encouraged to donate.
There are 2 main rules in this place. 1) Play and touch as much as you want. 2) If it breaks, blame the artist! You will find a profound meaning on every piece of art that you come across in this place. All made with recycled waste.

Great outdoor art museum you can spend hours looking around.

Cool place.
Just be careful. The fuzz followed me around for miles and miles up into this driveway out of town. They were the only intimidating presence out there.
