Ezra HorneJune 26, 2012Someone below said the boulder was 3.4 tons. Its 340 tons. And it is the most amazing sculpture I've seen in my life. The journey, the design and the beauty and power of the whole experience moves you- Matt (@VeganCheesehead) CrotteauDecember 6, 2015Can't complain about a free museum exhibit. I will admit the epic title of this piece makes it seem much more exciting than it may end up being, but still worth checking out. No Admission to get in.
Adam PalermoAugust 11, 2013This is stupid. Human beings 1000s of years ago moved rocks this big without modern machinery and built pyramids and temples. Some guy took this rock made by nature and takes credit for it as "art".
TFebruary 1, 2013Take a picture of you in front of it with your hands up. It looks like you're holding it up!! Classic gag. So original. People will think you're crazy strong til you fill them in on the joke. Classic!
Rachel BooksteinJune 3, 2013We followed the Mass' travels to LACMA- excited by art concept/physics. Kids(14,12,10,6) were deflated when we saw it. "I totally see the ledge & It is sitting on a shelf". I saw "Holocaust memorial".- Chris RoseDecember 30, 2012As others said, it's a big rock. Go in afternoon when the shadows are long and it's otherworldly. You can access the rock for free through the park.
Justin OrdovezaNovember 25, 2014Kooky but interesting nonetheless. Go early in the day to avoid the crowds.
Erik RowleyJanuary 23, 2017Marvel, behold, and pray for just a brief moment the San Andreas Fault doesn't awaken and bring wrath down on you.
ThrillistJune 14, 2013Take hilarious and original Facebook photo holding up that giant rock. Then Instagram it. Then Twitpic it. Then Friendster Testimonial it.- Charles T SebestaOctober 19, 2015Was present a few years ago when the "mass" arrived. It is worth experiencing!
AlanaJuly 3, 2012340 tons bolted and sitting over a walkway. Walk under twice because where else do you get to do that?!
Favorite pose for tourists seems to be standing in front of rock pretending to hold it up.
