Tragedy on Dogpound Road - push the button and the tornado moves around & the houses tip over.

9th Ward All Stars - Push the button, music plays and the tombstones open to proclaim "Save our Cemeteries".

this is like the best post ever!

I dream of driving around and finding places like this that are so awesome and alive and so full of art and history and capture them and present them in such a vibrant way.

There is so much more to see... and while I do have lots more photos, they don't really do the place justice.

The museum is a delight.

The more I see of it, though, the more I see this as art. This was quite a find.

It's funny and irreverent. It's even political - left leaning to be exact. But that you'll have to see for yourself because that's one of the subtle hidden gems of the place.
