This very unique roadside stop caught our attention so we stopped here when traveling north on I15 towards Las Vegas. What an interesting place located next to Eddieworld. This is an outdoor sculpture park created by Chinese artists dedicated to opposing the Chinese Communist Party and fighting for freedom among many others. Once you actually reach the entrance you drive up a dirt path all the way up to sculptures. Once on the property, the grounds are quite bumpy. Drive slow because if not things can get quite dusty from all of the dirt obviously. It took us roughly around 30 minutes to view and read everything. You just park randomly close to each sculpture and walk around if you want. There is also a picnic area if you wanted to spend more time there. It is totally free and unstaffed, however there is a donation box and a QR code for online donations. read more

This was such a beautiful experience. The artwork is detailed and powerful. Every piece has it's personal movement. It was very nice to learn and read and really get an understanding of what life is like around the world. The cool thing is that the artwork is spaced out enough so that you can drive through it and avoid the heat. I highly suggest making a pit stop here if you're interested in art, history and current events. read more

Most people only know about Seven Magic Mountains, but I think this place deserves way more recognition. It shares the same exit as Eddie's World, and you can easily spot it from the road. The entrance on Yermo Road makes it simple to drive through; unless you want to go off road, it does look like you can enter. Enter the park from across the Eddie's World because it does not seem like there is a fence .you can see the sculptures up close without even leaving your car. Many of the artworks feature well-known figures who fought for freedom in China, with banners and art installations lining both sides of the road. One of the most striking pieces is a sculpture assembled the movie 28 years later with skulls piled like a tower--a haunting reminder of those lost. I only recently discovered the park through social media, even though it's been around since 2017. When we visited, it was quiet--just one other car stopped for a quick look before driving off. Some sculptures have unfortunately been vandalized by people who disagree with their message, but that only underscores the importance of this place. If you're driving from Los Angeles to Vegas, definitely stop by and take a few photos. It's a powerful, thought-provoking stop that helps keep awareness of China's human rights crimes alive. read more

Quite a unique park and quite a drive to get there. Saw it on the freeway coming from CA to LV and decided to stop by on the way back and took a while after getting off the freeway to get there. It was hot day so did quite walk around much but a lot of fun, interesting sculptures for sure. Great place for a drive break or place to appreciate fun unique arts. read more

This place was such a nice free surprise off the side of the freeway on the drive from CA. to Vegas! I learned a lot of history, saw some intriguing and inspiring sculptures, and actually learned a lot of new things I had no idea about or wouldn't think would be here. The whole park is funded by volunteers and educates people on the China Communist Party and the devastation communism provides. There were even parts along the fence with Chinese signs and notes about people who had been prisoners or died from communism. It will really send a chill down your spine. Take a nice walk along the park, read some signs, learn something new, and take in the beautiful (and tragic) sculpture art. Thank you for this park, funding it, and your desire to educate others and really better our world one viewer at a time. read more

Found Liberty Sculpture Park randomly on a visit in the area. And honestly, five stars for no admission fee and being incredibly unexpected. It's a drive-through Sculpture Garden created by political refugees/protesters from China. The artists have nothing good to say about Communism, that's for sure, and also acknowledge the Civil Rights and Indigenous Rights movements in the USA. Many "establishment" museums and galleries would never give a spot to any of these artists, in my opinion....which is kind of ironic when you think about how many artists were revolutionary in their time. And what about the First Amendment? (Oh, congratulations Afroman by the way! We have to fight for our rights to create art in this country.) Anyway, thought-provoking stop if you're in the area. Great value....you can't beat free. read more

Built in 2017 by a Chinese-born New Zealand sculptor, this outdoor sculpture park is dedicated to promoting democracy and commemorating victims of communist regimes, particularly those in China. It's free to enter and is located right off of I-15 in Yermo, which is about halfway in between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. It is also less than a mile from EddieWorld which is the largest gas station in California and a popular stop in the area. They don't have a parking lot, but you can literally drive right in front of any of the sculptures, there aren't any walking paths or any kind of structure. Just please leave the site better than you found it. The theme is anti-communism and the art itself is very unique. I would classify it as modern art and a lot of the pieces have a lot of detail to them. It's a really fun roadside attraction, which were a lot more common when Route 66 was in its prime. I would recommend checking it out and especially being free it's really worth a stop. Just don't leave any trash or anything on or near the sculptures and enjoy. read more

Wow! Underrated memorial park. I actually had zero idea what this even was. I saw some "cool" looking sculptures on the side of the road, while heading to Vegas. I told my husband, that we should check it out on the way back. Thinking this was just some "fun art." When we pulled in, there's a dirt road. Immediately you could tell this was political and not just for "fun." When you walk or drive past each of the pieces, it tells a story. It tells the story of communism in China and all of the people that died because of it. So sad. It also tells the story of the CCP virus and the many that suffered and died from that. These scriptures tell a story of history. This isn't just some "fun art," it's a memorial park, telling a very sad story about communism and people trying to escape that. The sculptures are pretty powerful. You can either walk through, or drive past each. There's enough open space between each to do that. While we were there, another car pulled up behind us. They were driving past and viewing the pieces as well. Shortly after that, a police officer pulled in and drove past us. I think they were trying to make sure that no one was vandalizing the memorial park. Apparently, one of the pieces was burned down previously. Crazy. Worth a stop! read more

Late post On our way to Las Vegas when sculptures caught my attention! A memorial park located next to the freeway I -15 N Exit on Ghost Town Road , Yermo, Ca. Made a quick stop to rest as well! A sculpture memorial focused on the communist government! read more

As I am an American of Chinese descent, this park is meaningful personally. The murals and statues show an important part of world history, and mirrors many stories of families escaping Communism in China going to Hong Kong and elsewhere. There is a also a nod to the struggles for freedom in America with a Statue of Chief White Horse saying: "freedom should not be dictated by any people". As well worldwide struggles for freedom as there's a mural stating "free Syria". It comes on very, very strong in it's message of "No Communists", from the moment you enter the park. CCP Virus statue was burned down, and the rubble was left with a sign and CCP Virus II was built next to it as a symbol of resilience. Art is supposed to make you think, and this is a great place for reflection, especially with the shaded pavilion built. It looks like it's continuing to grow due to new construction and the help of donations and volunteers, interested to see what's to come for the future. Great free stop on the way to Vegas. read more

We noticed the sculptures as we were exiting the freeway to visit Eddie's world. I did a quick GPS search and discovered that it was a free sculpture park. It kind of looks like you're driving onto someone's property, but have no fear. Some awesome person has put the sculptures out there for your enjoyment. This is a thought provoking drive through art installment. You can also park your car, and you should, so that you can read the descriptions of the art. You need to get close to see the details. Also, drive or walk around each sculpture to see all the angles. We enjoyed our little offroading adventure. The art was well thought out. We appreciate whoever did this and highly recommended to the next people who drive by wondering if they should stop. read more

If your curious how Communisum works this is a must see and read park. You will leave with a better understanding.

Liberty Sculpture Park is a nonprofit sculpture park located in Yermo, CA. This is great thing to see on your way to Vegas. It should take you anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to see all the different sculptures. The sculptures are all having to do with freedom and the fight for it and protest of communist china. The park is on 36 acres of land where the founder protests the Chinese regime with his art since 2016. There's a Tank Man Sculpture, CCP Virus, and other sculptures. I became aware of the CCP Virus Sculpture being burned down in the news approximately two years ago. There's a second version of art installation now called CCP Virus II. The charred remains of the CCP Virus I still remains on the property. read more

After driving past this park a million times, we finally decided to stop, and it was well worth it. Such powerful pieces that really speak volumes. It feels a little weird when you first drive in, like where the heck are we going, but i highly recommend getting out and looking at all of the pieces read more

Definitely learned quite a few things here! Nice little stop in the desert, located just across the small street next to EddieWorld. Free to drive around or walk through it. Sculptures and statues are made by Weiming Chen and gives a history and overview of Chinese history beginning with the Tiananmen Square massacre. You'll also find Chief Crazy Horse and a Covid-19 display. Take the time to read the signs and examine the art, it is really all very interesting and even a bit eye-opening.... but definitely quirky and cool. Needs some fixing up and tender care, but it's quite interesting. Free, drive or walk around through it. read more

Looks like it's going to be 117 in Las Vegas on Sunday. I don't care, I wish I'd be there. Anyway, nothing makes you appreciate 110 degrees or however the hell hot it is where you live like 117 does. If you are driving across the beautiful Mojave desert to Las Vegas on the 15, this place is right across the street from Eddie World and well worth checking out. Updating my review to add photos. It goes like this: It started years ago with the giant 64. Every time I'd drive by on the way to Las Vegas I'd see the silver 64. Over the years the park grew, sculpture by sculpture, but at first it was just the giant 64. Yes, I thought, finally a monument to 1964!! It made sense. 1964 was a very important year. Consider some of the people born in 1964: Emily Litella, Jack Ma, Eazy-E, Chris Cornell, Kamala Harris, Barry Bonds, Keanu Reeves, Courtney Love, Lenny Kravitz, Stephen Colbert, Eddie Vedder, Jeff Bezos, Wanda Sykes, Rob Lowe, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Yeardley Smith, Tracy Chapman, Sarah Palin, Nicolas Cage, Biz Markie, Michelle Obama, Duff McKagan, Chris Farley, Russell Crowe, Hank Azaria, Cedrick the Entertainer, Tom Morello, Courtney Cox, Boris Johnson, John Leguizamo, Melinda Gates, Trisha Yearwood, Janeane Garofalo, Rev. Run, Marisa Tomei. And consider some of the important events that happened in 1964: 1964 was the beginning of The British Invasion. In America, the first Beatles LP was released on January 20th, and by February 1 the band had their first #1 record on the singles charts. The band arrived in America on February 7th, and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on the 9th. On February 25, 1964 a young boxer from Louisville named Cassius Clay knocked out Sonny Liston to become the Heavyweight Champion of the World. Nine days later he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. In March 1964, the first Ford Mustang rolled off the line in Detroit. Ford thought they'd sell about 100,000 of them. Within two years they sold a million Mustangs. The Mustang has been in continuous production since 1964, the longest produced Ford car model. On March 27th, an earthquake hit Anchorage, Alaska. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in North America, a 9.2 magnitude event. The city was devastated, and 125 people died. One of the weirdest sitcoms of all time, Gilligan's Island debuted in the fall of 1964. (Full disclosure, I am often mistaken for The Skipper. I find the resemblance unsettling). The Nobel Prize for Peace was awarded to Martin Luther King, Jr in October 1964. In December 1964 the SR-71, Lockheed's famous spyplane made its first flight over the high desert in Palmdale, California. So, yeah, 1964! One hell of a year, right? And then I find out this place isn't about 1964 at all. The big 64 represents June 4th, the date of the infamous Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. Dammit! I hate when this happens! I had already written this whole review about all this cool 1964 stuff and the stupid park is not even about 1964. Ok, that's not fair. The park is not stupid. I was just a little mad about writing about the wrong thing for about a damn hour. The park is actually pretty cool. It's cool, but it's not the easiest park to enjoy. You can only catch a brief glance if you are northbound on I15, you can't see much at all from the southbound side of the freeway. Although you can get a better, if only fleeting, view as you exit the freeway to visit Eddie World, to get a good view you have to go off road. The entrance is directly across from Eddie World, at the corner of Calico Rd and Telstar Ct. I posted a photo of the street sign with my review. The dirt "road" to the park is very rough. So rough you might think, why the hell didn't anyone tell me how rough this damn road is. Well, I just told you, partner. Despite the fact that I initially totally misunderstood what this park was about, and despite the rough road I mentioned, the park is well worth a visit if you have some extra time on the way to Vegas. I'm finishing this review with a tip of my tinfoil hat to 1964's Barry Goldwater: Mikey C says: extremism in the defense of comedy is no vice, moderation in the pursuit of satire is no virtue. read more

Very unique roadside stop. This is an outdoor sculpture park created by Chinese artists dedicated to opposing the Chinese Communist Party and fighting for freedom. There is a large sculpture honoring the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest massacre, along with more works addressing other human rights violations by the CCP. Totally free and unstaffed. There is a donation box and a QR code for online donations. There is also a picnic area if you wanted to spend more time there. There is a dirt road to get to the park however you could theoretically park by Yermo Road and walk (if you really wanted to avoid the dirt road). You could leave your car in the Eddie World parking lot or the semi-truck parking lot for Eddie World (across the street). However, the dirt road wasn't that bad. You can enter the dirt road from the semi-truck parking lot but that entrance is a little gnarly. The road is probably best entered from Telstar Court. Stop by Eddie World to use the bathroom, grab some food, and stock up on road trip snacks. read more

Bust in Time 36-acre plot of privately-owned land right off the edge of Interstate 15 that houses a small collection of statues and sculptures. One of the owners,Weiming Chen, is a Chinese-born dissident and artist who states the purpose of the area is to "...champion the human desire for freedom and condemn the oppression of Chinese communism." The Good: *Admission is free but you can donate thru some posted PayPal® and Venmo® links. *Def one of the more interesting roadside attractions we've encountered and it has a good message. *There's picnic tables available if you want to make this a rest stop. The Meh: *No Restrooms but Eddie World gas station is not too far. *Driving area is an unpaved dusty, dirt lot. Which I don't mind but just saying don't expect your car to leave clean. The Ugly: *One of the sculptures titled "CCP Virus"--which essentially blamed the Chinese government for The 'Rona®--was burned down. Highly suspicious... TLDR: If you love weird, quirky things then this is a def must-see. read more

Read The earlier yelp reviews for info on this park. Interesting viewpoint of the Covid/Coronavirus and statues of various struggles under Chinese Communism. The rough dirt road needs some work: park and walk if you don't have a 4WD/All Wheel drive. We first drove here in our 1975 Jaguar, road would have damaged the undercarriage. So we walked the park in 113 degrees ( July) . Not a good idea . We missed the donation sign, otherwise would have contributed to them. Spend a half hour and read the signs, enjoy the Artwork. read more

This place is located next to Eddieword, we had trouble finding the entrance, but if there's a makeshift entrance from the semi-truck parking lot across the street from the gas pump. It's all dirt road to the sculptures so your car/tires will get a good dust. It's a nice 10-15 min break from your drive between LA/Vegas and lets your kids run around. The artwork seems well maintained and in good shape. read more

As we were passing Eddie World on our way to Vegas we noticed a sculpture that looked like the protest in Tiananmen Square that caught our eye. Looked it up and found Liberty Sculpture Park. Following a road just behind Eddys World is a small sign that points to an unpaved dirt road. Defs don't drive your brand new car to this park lol its a little rough and very dusty. At the end of the road is a covered seating area with two signs and a donation box. One sign gives the story of how the shaded are and the other explains what the park is Al about. There are a few sculptures spread out around this developing park, each with a very political story behind it. Very interesting to read and appreciate the artist and movement of each sculpture. Defs worth a stop. read more

Several years ago, I was on the bus and I saw this. I was wondering what is this? I believe it changed little bit since than. This time, I rented a car and want to check it out. It's very cool artwork he have here. The only suggestion I have for the artist is use more durable materials. I noticed on the fake tank, some parts are styrofoam. It is worth it to check it out, learn the history behind it, and take a break from driving between Las Vegas and LA. read more

Liberty Sculpture Park - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Yermo, California

This is a must see. My husband is a first generation Chinese American and when he saw this on an attraction website during a recent road-trip he was very interested in making a little detour to stop here. It was a very interesting and enjoyable experience and it's free (although we chose to make a donation to support the artist). There are sculptures, signs and unique artwork throughout the property and even a covered picnic area if you wanted to enjoy a bag lunch. There was a car there when we arrived and another coming when we left so it was nice to have space and peace while looking around. The artist is clearly passionate and talented and I believe they will be incorporating more pieces moving forward so we will be back again. read more

Liberty Sculpture Park can be found off the 15 freeway, on your way to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, in the city of Yermo (~ 2 hours away from Las Vegas). It is across the street from Eddie's World (where they promote that they have clean restrooms). This new sculpture park has been here since early 2017. Liberty Sculpture Park is a tribute to the 1989 Tiananmen massacre that took place on June 4. In China, Tiananmen Square in Beijing, student led demonstrations took place calling for free speech and free press. China's government unleashed a bloody halt to it all with riffles and tanks firing into the crowd, killing hundreds of thousands (the government never released the official number) and imprisoned the rest that were still alive. This land was purchased by sculpture artist Chen Weiming with a group of friends to honor those that lost their lives during that day in history. The land here is dedicated for artists who want to promote the message of fighting for freedom. In this park, you will see the head of Native American leader, Crazy Horse, a 16 foot statue of Chinese activist Li Wangyang and also the newest sculpture called "Tank Man". This sculpture is of a life size tank that is made of steel, wood, fiberglass, plaster and plastic foam (please see my photos) with a man standing in front of the tank. There is also a large 64 sculpture that you can see next to the tank, that is 6.4 meters high and placed at a 64 degree angle. The numbers are supposed to represent June 4th, the date of the massacre. On the back of this statue are the names of more than 200 victims that lost their lives that day. My husband, our little girl and I stopped by this free sculpture park a few Fridays ago, a little before 12 pm. Please note that you will be driving on a dirt path once you get to the entrance of the sculpture park. I think it is worth a detour to check out the few sculptures that are here and hope to see this park grow. To get here, from the 15 freeway, exit 194. Drive south on Calico Rd for a half-mile until the road ends. At the stop sign, turn right onto Yermo Rd. Drive a half-mile. You'll see the Liberty Sculpture Park entrance sign on the right. read more

This whole park rattled by bones! Esp. the one where a woman had been in chains in filthy conditions for years for the pure use of having babies. Communism is NOT a joke and this park points to the travesties of it up to and including covid 19 and the whistleblower suspiciously dying shortly after. If not on your way to/from Vegas, make a special trip. It will boggle your mind and thank God Chen is getting the word out, slowly but doing the good work. We took so many pictures and wanted to share with so many friends that I made a notebook with pics and description. Each person gets something out of it. Reading others' reviews ~ the road to get in is also an adventure. Easy driving but drive slow enough to see the pics of communist leaders on the flags. Was I surprised to see Zelensky? No, but upset that a President of our USA would give billions to further the cause of communism. The 2nd trip there I was able to meet the sculptor Chen. He keeps his eye on his mission ~ spreading the word communism is BAD. Very friendly and wants people to know. Don't be blinded by someone's "pretty" talk of communism ~ nothing about it is good. read more

Mood- Something I had not paid attention to before This particular stop turned out to be something more than expected. As everyone knows I sneak off into California often. Sometimes while driving I and others pay attention to things we hadn't noticed before and it sparks a curious nature. This day we saw a whole lot of commotion and knew we wanted to check it out on our way back to town. Once we were able to navigate this park and take in the up close and personal awe of what was to be admired we then took a breath to reflect on the damages, destruction, and lives that were lost on that fateful day June 4, 1989. Aka The Tienanmen Square Massacre where so many people met their demise all while protesting. These were student led protests. In May 1989 close to 1 million Chinese mainly young college students went into central Beijing to protest for democracy and to have the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party resign. This occurred for close to 3 weeks, where the students held vigils, marched, and chanted. This sparked media outcries that reached Europe and the United States. That fateful day 6/4/1989 troops and security stormed Tienanmen Square and violently started firing into the crowds of the protestors. Tens of thousands of these young students tried to flee. They state at least 300 possible thousands were killed and close to 10k were arrested. 3 weeks later the United States President at the time George Bush Senior met with congress as the people of the west wanted the Chinese government punished for these actions.US Congress voted to impose sanctions against the People's Republic of China. Soviet leader at the time Mikhail Gorbachev stated he was saddened by the events that took place. He hoped the government would adopt his reform program and democratize the Chinese political system. The Sculpture that was created to honor those is titled the " Relief Sculpture" inside of this work of art at the base was placed a time capsule. This park is to memorialize the victims of Communist Tyranny. The inauguration of the park was held August 29th 2020 at 6pm. The sculptures were created by world reknowned artist Weiming Chen. Some of the other sculptures are titled " Chief Crazy Horse", " Tank Man" 9 standing as a life size version created out of 1300lbs of concrete painted a bronze color, and Chinese Activist Li Wangyang - as a 16ft tall statue - there are other works currently in the making being created as of now. Would def recommend - pricing is free. It is an off road type experience so I would not recommend a low lying car or truck. However you can walk should you choose to park in the make shift parking lot. Location is Yermo across the street from Eddies World - ample parking read more

I came back from Las Vegas and stopped by this place before Barstow. You can type in the address on the Maps app and lead you right to the entrance. It is about 5 minutes drive off the freeway 15 exit. You then need to drive about 400 yards north of sandy road toward Fwy 15 to see the sculptures. They have a new CCP Virus and the burned down CCP Virus. There are average 50 to 100 yards distance between each display so it is not walking friendly but totally free. You can actually drive up to each display. read more

We've driven by here so many times and wondered what it was. In the mood for a new adventure, we looked it up and got directions. (Head's up - look for the sign, don't follow Google Maps - it will take you to someone's backyard.). These are huge sculptures created by an immigrant and each sculpture has its own story. Sadly, one of them was recently set on fire, but the story behind that is pretty powerful. There is a covered picnic area, so plan on bringing lunch or a snack for a respite from the long highway. read more
