Giant Longhorn Skull in Albany, Texas

Taking a road trip and looking for the best roadside attractions in Texas? Find this Giant Longhorn Skull in Albany, Texas. It will make you lose your mind.

Giant Longhorn Skull in Albany, Texas

The sculpture was created by Albany artist Joe Barrington of Red Star Studio. He is also behind other big skulls in Abilene and Throckmorton, along with numerous other oversized sculptures of birds, sea creatures, horseshoes, and more that you’ll find at various business and locations around Texas.

While you might be terrified to think of just how humungous of a steer this giant skull would have had to have come from, don’t worry, it’s just a sculpture, not the real deal. This roadside attraction is made of steel and has lights in the eye sockets that glow bright red at night.

The big skull is located on Main Street and sits right next to another popular roadside attraction: the restored vintage Sinclair Gas Station in Albany. It was donated to Albany by local rancher Cliff Teinert and has been in place since 2007.
