Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum

With the assistance of local businesses and private individuals, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum opened its doors in July 1991, exhibiting a varied collection of wildlife and prehistoric exhibits on loan. Since then, the Museum has obtained its own multi-million dollar, world-class collection, and created an exciting and interactive learning experience.  From the desert to the ocean, from Nevada to Africa, from prehistoric times to the present, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum takes young and old alike on a learning adventure around the world.

The Museum has established itself as an important community resource. Educational programming includes field trip programs that are designed by grade level to introduce students to science and nature, offsite outreach programs, and teaching programs. The Museum is dedicated to being accessible to the community and has developed subsidy programs that sponsor admission and transportation for economically disadvantaged schools.

The Museum has grown into an invaluable resource for the community and is an active participant in education by broadening horizons, introducing new experiences, and enriching lives. The Museum will continue to evolve, improve, and strive for higher standards.

The Las Vegas Natural History Museum strives to inspire a better understanding and appreciation of the natural world, the sciences, and ourselves through educational exhibits, programming, and research.
