Las Vegas Art Museum 4.0 (reviews)

Like most 58-year-old organizations in Southern Nevada, what is now the Las Vegas Art Museum came from humble beginnings. In 1950, a group of of visionaries created the Las Vegas Art League with the intention of bringing fine art to the city. The Art League moved into a portion of a ranch house at Lorenzi Park which was purchased by the City of Las Vegas in 1949.[citation needed]In 1974, the Las Vegas Art League changed its name to Las Vegas Art Museum (LVAM) which made it the first fine arts museum in Nevada.
