marfa

In the desolate stretch of West Texas near Valentine, an unexpected sight greets travelers — a small, non-functional Prada storefront sitting alone in the desert. Prada Marfa, a permanent art installation created in 2005 by artists Elmgreen & Dragset, is a cultural landmark that offers a striking commentary on consumerism and luxury. Though it's not a real store, it’s filled with genuine Prada items and has become a global icon and selfie magnet, despite bouts of vandalism and theft.

Archaeologists have made a jaw-dropping discovery near Marfa, Texas—an ancient weapon kit believed to be thousands of years old and possibly one of the oldest ever found in the U.S. Perfectly preserved in a cave, this find could change what we know about early life in the Big Bend region.

Some folks love it, others hate it, some don't know what to think of the faux Prada store 35 miles outside of Marfa, Texas. Regardless, it's now become the focus of the debate on freedom of expression versus advertising, and the Texas Department of Transportation has now classified it as 'illegal advertising'.

Just weeks after going up, the iconic Playboy logo on the outskirts of Marfa continues to cause controversy. But now a state agency said that sign is illegal and it has to come down, but the reason why just might surprise you.
