It’s hard to classify Carhenge, it’s so bizarre. We’ll call it a monument, because it’s patterned after the world-famous Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument in England. Carhenge was built to Stonehenge’s scale, but instead of using stones, Carhenge consists of 38 stacked cars covered in gray spray paint. Despite its somewhat remote location in Alliance, Nebraska, Carhenge has drawn tens of thousands of visitors and been featured in movies and other popular culture since construction on the monument began in 1987.
