Prada Marfa
Prada Marfa is a sightseeing stop in Valentine, TX. Cost: free.
US-90, about 1.4 miles northwest of Valentine · Valentine, TX
Why you should go…
Prada Marfa is a permanent land art sculpture by the artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset, set up on October 1, 2005 beside US-90 near Valentine, about 26 miles northwest of Marfa. It is modeled on a Prada boutique, and its two front windows show real bags and shoes from the brand's fall 2005 collection. The door is always locked, so you look in from outside and take photos from the roadside. Art Production Fund and Ballroom Marfa commissioned the adobe and plaster building.
