23 of the most incredible works of Burning Man art ever made

This year's Burning Man — the wild annual festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert — will start on August 27.

One of the main spectacles at Burning Man are the outlandish, elaborate, and zany sculptures and structures that attendees create there.

Many are intentionally destroyed at the end of the festival, since part of Burning Man's mission is to leave no trace, but some have moved to other locations around the world.

We've rounded up 23 of the most stunning works from past festivals. Check them out below.

Bliss Dance by Marco Cochrane (2010)

After debuting at Burning Man 2010, the 40-foot-tall sculpture moved to San Francisco's Treasure Island and then permanently to The Park Las Vegas, an outdoor area on the strip, in 2015.

The Prairie Wind Chapel by Robert Hoehn and Wind Tribe (2015)

This airy temple featured a Victorian reed organ and two wood and metal pipe organs.

R-Evolution by Marco Cochrane (2015)

Constructed of steel rods and balls covered in stainless-steel mesh, and lots of LEDs, R-Evolution was a 48-foot-tall sculpture of a woman. It was part of a series by Chochrane that also included the Bliss Dance sculpture shown earlier.
