Bills itself as, "The greatest art car museum on Earth." Zany outgrowth of the town's annual art car parade, which is the world's second largest. Nearly 40 eye-grabbing and bizarre vehicles.

Art Cartopia! So fun, and Amanda was incredibly friendly.
[CL, 08/09/2022]Art Cartopia is home to over 25 art cars and serves as a regional center of creativity and shenanigans. Trinidad has an annual art car parade, which is what generated the idea for this crazy museum. Some art cars are activist works, others are the result of collaborations, and still others are sculptures on wheels. Many are simply wacky ideas made with found objects and some good ol' fashioned elbow grease by "cartists" (car + artist, get it?).
[Cathey Nickell, 06/08/2022]Art Cartopia is an art car museum. There are 35 art cars on display. Also part of the experience includes, a gift shop, art gallery and maker space.
Closed until April 1, 2022. Doing cleaning, remodeling, rearranging, painting and restructuring.

This neo-Roadside attraction is like a giant cabinet of curiosities. The art cars are explosions of creativity -- and they can be driven. The docents (who call themselves "Splainers") were very friendly, as each vehicle has its own amazing story.
