Located on the campus of UNLV, the Marjorie Barrick Museum is situated within a renovated historic gymnasium that features contemporary artworks as well as Pre-Columbian and Mesoamerican art. The six exhibit galleries include 50 pieces of international contemporary artwork from the Vogel collection which was bequeathed to the museum in 2010."
"This is one of the most famous museums in the city which took over from Las Vegas Art Museum. It is located in the University of Nevada’s compound and strives to maintain both the natural history and display contemporary art. It is not very well established but still holds rotating exhibitions, inviting art pieces for the community."
"Hands down, our favorite museum is the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, on the campus of University of Nevada Las Vegas. It hosts art from local as well as national artists.
