Why you should go…

Founded in 1931, the Nevada Museum of Art moved into its current downtown Reno building, designed by architect Will Bruder, in 2003. The collection of more than 5,000 works centers on how people interact with the land, and the museum is a noted repository for Land art and Earthworks. Rotating exhibitions fill the galleries, and volunteer docents lead guided tours. A bakery and restaurant, Perenn at the Museum, serves the cafe, atrium and patio, and there is a design-focused shop.
