    I love finding these Roadside Attractions when traveling, it's not likely you'll just happen upon…read morethis place unless maybe you get lost. Located along the banks of Bayou Petit Caillou that's dotted with shrimp boats and fish camps, these brightly painted sculptures mark an era that's filled with mystery especially the sudden disappearance of the creator - I'm really surprised the artist never capitalize on his years of work. It's a free exhibit in a very small park like setting. The highlight for me is definitely the "lighthouse" which looks more like a chimney once you walk inside the small opening and look up. If you're in the area or even if you need to drive a little out of your way it's worth paying this site a visit, it's free, strange and pretty cool...

    This is a one of a kind place. It's not huge, yet there is a lot to see here. Both in terms of…read moremany, many sculptures, and in the deeply detailed sculptures. There are many of the areas, or sections, of the sculpture garden that are intertwined. I'm not clear about the connection of each, or the story of how one might or might not relate to the next. I suspect the relationship of the various sculptures to one another is part of the mystery and intrigue of this artist and his whimsical yet life like and most colorful artwork. This is a pleasing place, cozy and comfortable. Located along the bayou with the water - and an occasional shrimp boat - easing by as if no one even noticed this art oasis. That's probably because many pass by on water or on the highway without noticing. For those who who do notice, and do stop, this will be a worthwhile and unique experience.
