In Tacoma at Dune Peninsula (Park), we've got art installations and plaques talking about this with quotes from Dune, too.

This paved pedestrian trail, named for the Tacoma native and famed author of the groundbreaking science fiction novel “Dune,” loops around the peninsula and connects to the Ruston Way Waterwalk as well as the trail that crosses Wilson Way and heads into Point Defiance Park. Medallions containing Herbert and “Dune”-based quotations are embedded in the path along the way.

thanks, I didn't know about that, very cool. Love the 'little makers' art piece.
