Discover the details in the debris

Cathedral of Junk rewards a close look. Familiar objects become parts of a much larger structure, and the pleasure lies in noticing both the whole creation and the individual pieces within it.

An arranged visit, not a walk-in attraction

The artwork is at a private home. Plan ahead so a visit works for the host as well as for you, and follow the instructions you receive when arranging your appointment.
