Goldwell Open Air Museum 1 Golden Street, Beatty, NV 89003
About the Business
Located at 1 Golden Street in Beatty, Nevada, the Goldwell Open Air Museum is a unique institution that showcases seven colossal outdoor sculptures created by a group of prominent Belgian artists, including the late Albert Szukalski. These sculptures are situated within the vast upper Mojave desert, just outside the ghost town of Rhyolite.
For Szukalski, America and the West represented a place of artistic freedom, where he could pursue his vision without constraints. The museum is private property, with a variety of permanent artworks on display for all to enjoy. The Goldwell Artist Residency will be reinstated in 2025, providing artists with a serene place to create amidst the stunning desert landscape.
Visitors can explore the museum's Visitor Center and Gift Shop, open Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Non-commercial photography is allowed for personal use, but commercial photography and filming require permission from the property owners. The museum is supported by grants from various agencies, including the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Come experience this one-of-a-kind museum and immerse yourself in the beauty of the desert surroundings.

Reviews
"Free for all. Great history. Close to Beatty and Death Valley. Lots of fun looking around at the Art, cemetery, and Bank!"
"Love coming here, you can free roam and there is a lot of cool information about the town. Definitely worth a look if you’re doing the loop from Death Valley to Vegas."
"It seems like they have blocked historic sites due to vandalism. They are now working on creating a more informative site. I would have been completely clueless about the significance had I not had a friend who researched the site previously. This place will be improving, so check it out later."
"I give this place 5 stars for the experience and the old ghost town buildings. You can walk around freely here and explore the area. There were many free roaming donkeys in the area. Rhyolite is a must stop!!"
