About

Even many of the locals out in this part of Oklahoma have no idea that a giant replica of the Mona Lisa is painted on the side of a barn. For anyone driving through the countryside, it's worth a quick detour to glimpse the enigmatic figure.

Know Before You Go

The barn is located on private property, but it is possible to see the mural from the road.
