Nevada Museum of Art

Reno, Nevada

Coming February 11 – May 20, 2012

The only nationally accredited art museum in the state, the Nevada Museum of Art features exhibitions by national and international artists with a permanent collection of 19th through 21st century art. Divided into five focus collections, the permanent collection is unified by an overall emphasis on art and environment: The Altered Landscape: Carol Franc Buck Collection; Contemporary Collection; Sierra Nevada/Great Basin Collection; Historical Collection; and the E.L. Wiegand Collection. This thematic specialization is a natural outgrowth of the institution’s collecting practices over the years and offers varied perspectives on the ways in which humans interact with their natural, built and virtual environments.
