‘Notre Denver’ in Denver, Colorado
Denver International Airport is notorious for its weird, enigmatic exhibits, from a conspiracy-ridden mural to a massive statue of a demonic horse that killed its own creator. There’s also a pair of Notre-Dame-style gargoyle sculptures above the baggage claim carousels. Just because. Officially titled Notre Denver, the unusual airport gargoyles were created in 1994 by Terry Allen, a country singer-songwriter also known for his career as a playwright and artist. The cast bronze installation depicts the two gargoyles perched inside Samsonite suitcases – note that this famed luggage company originates in Denver – and watching over the passengers as they pick up their personal belongings. The gargoyles here serve as a sort of protective talisman, so that the baggage may return safely to its owner. Unsurprisingly, however, the artwork has fueled the ever-growing conspiracy theories surrounding Denver International. The airport has since seemingly embraced its weirdness, giving a nod to the creepy tales from time to time. In 2019, a new interactive gargoyle was installed, wise-cracking and making references to the airport's conspiracy theories.
