In far West Texas, between the Davis Mountains and Big Bend, lies Marfa. Known as the filming location for the James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor movie “Giant” and the mysterious Marfa Lights, this small town offers plenty to see and do. Sure, check out the popular Prada Marfa sculpture outside of town for that iconic Instagram photo, but don’t miss things like The Chinati Foundation, an internationally known contemporary art museum created by minimalist artist Donald Judd.
Nearby, the Ayn Foundation includes works by Andy Warhol, while numerous other galleries in town create an art paradise. Learn about Jewish history during WWII at the Holocaust and Historic Model Ship Museum, grab a Texas-sized burrito at Marfa Burrito, or shop for local artisan goods at boutiques like Cobra Rock and Skóra Marfa. Meanwhile, thrill seekers can take to the sky with Marfa Gliders for a flight over the Marfa Plateau.
