Very fun to look at, and it's in a neat little park downtown. It's getting some wear and tear with time, but still very fun to interact with.

This was so fun! On a trip to Key West this was our first stop. The artist that made the walk-thru head did a fabulous job. It was one of my favorite stops.

The Head is right is downtown Jacksonville, so parking is difficult during the work week. We drove in circles to find a open spot. Stay about two blocks away to find more open meters. Have a quarter handy to get 30 min parking.

The mouth on the 18-ft. long head served as the entryway to "The Body Within" exhibit at Jacksonville's Museum of Science and History since 2009. It's had a second life as a gaping piece of public outdoor art since 2016.
