The Mindfield is very lit at night.
The Mindfield and Barbershop Museum appears to be gone. There's something in the building now called the C# School of Music.

Park in front near the rent a center. There's a small path along the building to get a better look. We didn't see his books; there is a small area that says "pen and paper," but it's filled with metal pieces.

We stopped to see the Mindfield on a road trip to Texas. Words cannot begin to describe the scale and scope of this installation. The movie theater A-frames are assembled and a load of concrete was delivered the day we were there. Obviously, the Mindfield continues to expand.
