A Backyard Temple of Peace and Understanding (opens in new tab)

🪨 Created by artist Jim Bowsher, this sprawling Ohio site is based on a simple idea: People from different backgrounds should be able to coexist with compassion and curiosity\. From a sculpture known as the “Bully Eater” to a tube filled with shell casings representing every man or woman who died in a war from 1812 on, the Temple of Tolerance is filled with poignant stories that touch all who come across it\.
