The Orange Show is a folk-art environment–and monumental work of outsider architecture–in Houston’s east end. The outdoor 3,000-square-foot monument is maze-like in design and includes an oasis, a wishing well, a pond, a stage, a museum, a gift shop, and several upper decks. It is constructed of concrete, brick, steel and found objects including gears, tiles, wagon wheels, mannequins, vividly painted iron statues, tractor seats, and statuettes.
