    “Some people find this place tacky and/or creepy, but I’m of the “ooh ahh” camp that finds immense pleasure in the wonder of human whim. The actual “house” is dreamy, but it’s the meandering halls and football field-sized dioramas that are the most compelling. Why build it? Why not build it?”

    “I can’t even explain the magic of this place, but when I lived in Chicago I would drive to Madison at least once a year to visit The House on the Rock.”

    “A monument to something like collection, archive, obsession, categorization, information, oddity, or maybe, just weird buildings.”
