RANDYLAND!

Randyland is a museum of every type of art you could possibly imagine! It is a museum however, it has a little bit of a twist. Randyland is located in Pittsburgh on the Northside. Randy Gilson purchased this house on the Northside, and turned it into what is now called Randyland. He made all of the artwork and he put it all together himself. He created many pieces of street art in addition to 800 gardens, 50 vegetable gardens and 8 parks. It is at the least, the most rad place I have ever been to.

Randyland is open every day from 1:00pm-7:00pm. It is located on 1501 Arch Street in Pittsburgh on the Northside. Admission is free however, donations are always welcome! Donations go to Randy so that he can produce more artwork to add to Randyland. Randyland is on a normal street so parking isn't horrible but it isn't the best. Walking a few blocks, in my opinion, is certainly worth it. I heard of Randyland through a friend of a friend, and it always sounded interesting however I never pictured it to be how it was. The pictures do not even do justice when it comes to showing how much Randyland sticks right out, it is wicked cool. You could not miss this place even if you walked down the street with your eyes closed!

Everything in Randyland is so well thought out. It looks from the outside or atleast from first glance like it is just a bunch of junk thrown together. However, once you go and actually explore it you quickly realize how everything is strategically put together. Randy Gilson was actually there when I went to visit, he is an amazing guy. He is so down to earth and does all of this from such a genuine place in his heart. I love how he doesn't even charge admission, he does this all for the simple fact of sharing his works with he world. Randy is typically at Randyland which I also adore. I think it is great he is there to meet and greet with the people who come and visit. Talking with Randy really gives you more of a feel for the place.
