For a transformative experience in art, head to a museum which itself has undergone a major transformation -- The Marjorie Barrick Museum on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus.
Once a natural history museum, the facility currently houses groundbreaking exhibits of contemporary art as well as a rotating display of Pre-Columbian pieces from its own extensive collection.
Once inside the museum lobby, return guests will notice some changes. The aquariums full of small reptiles and snakes that once lined the walls have been replaced by art installations and a children’s art bar with a wide variety of drawing materials. Children can create their own "Found Object Collage" on paper with glue, and can even bring their own found objects to donate to the art bar. Supplies are also provided for contour drawing. Anything created can be taken home or exhibited in the lobby. |
