LAS VEGAS

Founded in 1982, the mission of the Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas is to inspire and educate a diverse public about the history and natural history of Nevada. The Museum collects, preserves, exhibits, and disseminates material that contributes to an understanding and appreciation of the state... In 2000, the Nevada voters approved an appropriation that included the construction of a new museum facility at the Springs Preserve and during the 2007 legislative session, the museum's name was officially changed to Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas. The construction of the new building was completed in the spring of 2009. Two years later, the 2011 legislature voted to approve the opening of the new museum. The new building, located 309 S. Valley View Blvd, opened to the public October 2011.
