Did someone say road trip<\/strong>? We all know road trips as\u00a0a quintessential part of an All-American summer and the truest test\u00a0of friendship. And now, you should also use it as an excuse to experience art you won’t find in just any museum! We’ve lined up our top outdoors art exhibitions in the U.S. for you in this weekly installment of #InstagramThis, so pack a bag, grab your friends, and let’s hit the road.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>:\u00a063030 Blair Lane, Joshua Tree,\u00a0California<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: Ongoing, from sun up ’til\u00a0sundown<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong>: It’s literally a museum in the desert! Noah Purifoy was an assemblage artist who used art as a social tool, particularly for environmental activism. His 10-acre museum is home to the architectural masterpieces that he created over a 15-year period after moving from LA to the Mojave desert, a dramatic setting for your next Instagram post.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>:\u00a05200 Sonoma (Carneros) Highway, Napa, California<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: Ongoing<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong>: di Rosa sits on 217 acres of land, complete with three separate galleries, a 35-acre lake, and actual peacocks! Not to mention that its collection boasts some of the most significant works of Bay Area artists. It’s truly a must-see destination.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>:\u00a01 Golden St, Beatty, Nevada<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: Ongoing<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong>: Another art museum set in a desert! This one, however, is located right near the ghost town of Rhyolite, giving you two reasons to head to Nevada.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Museum of Outdoor Arts’ Sculpture on the Green<\/a><\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: Fiddlers Green Circle,\u00a0Greenwood Village,\u00a0Colorado<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: May 2017 –\u00a0April 2018<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong>: This outdoor exhibition celebrates the work of four\u00a0innovative local artists from Colorado. We’re especially in love with Dmitri Obergfell’s\u00a0“What Happens on Earth, Stays on Earth,” a skeletal sculpture painted\u00a0with automotive paint, giving it an oil-slicked, purple-green shine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Randyland<\/a><\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>:\u00a01501 Arch Street, Pittsburgh,\u00a0Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: Ongoing, 10 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong>: Brighten up your Insta with a trip\u00a0to Randyland! Artist Randy Gilson has transformed his house and backyard into Pennsylvania’s\u00a0most colorful landmark. He is constantly creating\u00a0artworks out of found objects, so Randyland is always a little different each time you visit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brooklyn Brush’s Outdoor Gallery Project<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"

Where<\/strong>: 203 Harrison Place, Brooklyn, New York<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: Ongoing<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong>: This mural-lined street screams photoshoot to us. Take selfies with all your favorite artworks and save some\u00a0to post on a rainy day!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Outlooks: Heather Hart<\/a><\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: Storm King Art Center,\u00a01 Museum Road,\u00a0New Windsor,\u00a0New York<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: May 13 – November 12, 2017<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong>: We love Storm King Art Center’s main collection, but Heather Hart’s special exhibition is worth visiting in its own right. Visitors are allowed to climb onto and walk under this rooftop, making it the perfect photo opportunity. If you angle your camera just right, it’ll look like you’re dangerously balancing on the top of a roof!<\/p>\n
