2016 Kinetic Sculpture Race in Photos

We chronicle the American Visionary Art Museum's myths and monsters themed race.

It was a feat of skill, determination, and sheer will as human-powered sculptures lumbered through the streets of Baltimore Saturday. And at its core, the Kinetic Sculpture Race showcases the creativity, and eccentricity, that defines Charm City. Now in its 18th year, the race is beloved by its participants and the spectators who line the streets from Federal Hill to Patterson Park. As Jeff Krannebitter of Essex, who raced the vehicle Pocket Monster on Saturday, says, “It’s my favorite day of the year.”
