The Orange Show was created by Jeff McKissack, a eccentric postman who spent 20 years building this masterpiece in his spare time. McKissack was obsessed with the idea that oranges could bring people together, and he spent his life savings on this project, which he hoped would become a popular tourist attraction. And, boy, did he succeed!
As you wander through The Orange Show, you'll encounter all sorts of wacky and fascinating artifacts, including a chapel dedicated to the glory of oranges, a museum showcasing the history of the fruit, and even a gift shop where you can buy all sorts of orange-themed souvenirs. It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of treasure, you find... well, more oranges!
But The Orange Show isn't just a quirky roadside attraction; it's also a work of art that's been recognized by the Folk Art Society of America and the Smithsonian Institution. McKissack's creation has been praised for its whimsy and ingenuity, and it's even been compared to the works of famous artists like Salvador Dali and Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
