My wife and I had seen this mentioned somewhere (not even sure if it was in a book or on the internet), and we found ourselves with an unexpected free day and made a spur-of-the-minute decision to drive down from New Orleans to check it out. As we were discussing what else we might do and see on our little day trip, I remember mentioning offhand that we would probably be done with the sculpture garden in 10 minutes. Boy was I wrong! We probably ended up spending a good hour -- maybe more. It's not that it was any bigger than I expected, it's just that there are so many weird, wonderful, and beautiful things to see and savor in a fairly small space. We went on a Saturday, so there were guides available (two of them actually!) to show us around and answer our questions and tell stories of their personal interactions with the artist who created this masterpiece. It is fascinating to look at all the pieces and take time to appreciate the thoughtful details and try to understand what they mean and how they fit together and what story Kenny Hill was trying to tell. The guides said that Kenny Hill, like a lot of great artists, wanted to leave his work open to interpretation by its viewers. The fact that the project was left unfinished only makes it all the more intriguing. And the inspiring story of how the whole thing was saved from demolition also made the experience richer. Definitely worth the drive! (It's free, but please leave something in the donation jar at the visitor center across the street. It's open every day, but I think that the guides are only available on the weekends.)
