The Goldwell Open Air Museum, an outdoor sculpture museum near the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada, founded by Belgian artist Albert Szukalski. Rhyolite is a ghost town in Nye County, in the U.S. state of Nevada. It is in the Bullfrog Hills, about 120 miles (190 km) northwest of Las Vegas, near the eastern boundary of Death Valley National Park. The town began in early 1905 as one of several mining camps that sprang up after a prospecting discovery in the surrounding hills. During an ensuing gold rush, thousands of gold-seekers, developers, miners and service providers flocked to the Bullfrog Mining District. Many settled in Rhyolite, which lay in a sheltered desert basin near the region's biggest producer, the Montgomery Shoshone Mine. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING PLEASE SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE
