This 15-by-25-foot Prada boutique just off Route 90 in West Texas is a sculpture by artists Michael Emlgreen and Ingar Dragset. It's located about 35 miles northwest of the small city of Marfa which has been a hub for modern art ever since Donald Judd moved there in the early 70s.
Prada Marfa was vandalized (since it does sit out here alone in the Texas desert) three days after it was installed in 2005, and someone ran off with the Prada shoes and handbags. The building was repaired and cleaned of graffiti, and now it's stocked with bottomless handbags that hide a theft-deterrent system... so no stealing.

Vulcan is a prairie town in Alberta, Canada. It was named after the Roman god of fire, but the small town of less than 2,000 people has since decided to capitalize on the fact that it shares a name with Spock's fictional home planet Vulcan in Star Trek.
For over twenty years they have hosted the Spock Days Star Trek convention. They built a replica of the Starship Enterprise, and at the Tourism and Trek Station you can see some Star Trek memorabilia and presumably also find out about the history of the town's grain-based economy.

Metallica bassist Cliff Burton died here in Sweden during a European tour in 1986. Burton was asleep in his bunk when the tour bus driver lost control. Burton was flung through the window and crushed under the flipped bus. The driver claimed to have hit a patch of black ice and didn't have any charges brought against him for the accident.
In 2006, on the twentieth anniversary of his death, a memorial stone in rural Sweden near Ljungby was erected near a roadside cafe across the street from the site of the accident.
