If you have ever driven on U.S. 400 near Mullinville, you’ve likely seen hundreds of strange pieces of metal art just a few feet from the highway. The art was created by the late M.T. Liggett (1933-2017), who had a passion for creating strange and fascinating works of art from old metal road signs and glass bottles. Some of his pieces have names of his inspirations and show strange caricatures of those he loved or disliked, with his largest works being nearly 20 feet tall. His unique works are now a part of the M.T. Liggett Art Environment, which is dedicated to preserving and showcasing one of Southwest Kansas’ most fascinating artists. “This building was completed with the vision of the Kohler foundation who played a huge part on this site, they preserved all of M.T.’s artwork outside and build this building for visitors to come to,” said Ann Dixson, director of the M.T. Ligget Art Environment.
