Robots Sculpture Garden

Three large statues stand on the corner of Arquilla and Via Collusa. More can be seen by peering over the low wall into the sculptural wonderland by artist Kenny Irwin, Jr. It's rumored that tours are given by the artist's father, for those friendly fans with the good timing to see him around the property.

Palm Springs Christmas Lights Robots

Giant robots, statues, Christmas lights, and much, much more... There are tons of robots outside the house all year long, but it looks like the real show is Thanksgiving to January.

[MightyWarlock, 07/24/2013]

Much of the artwork is hidden behind shrubbery and an outdoor wall, but the property has frontage on three different streets, and enough of the robots and creatures are visible to make it worthy.
