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.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Definitely go! If you’re already in this area for any reason stop here. Such amazing, unique, weird, sculpture art. We didn’t mean to but ended up spending at least an hour walking around in the over 100* direct sunlight. A must go.

This place is right next to Salvation Mountain and a surreal experience with surreal artwork. This place would make a great setting for a dystopian Hollywood production
