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.

If you like weird, the walk-through head is worth the stop... and I like weird!

Oddly amusing.
[Clara C, 11/16/2017]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.
