Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art

In the heart of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is a free gallery and art museum. The Barrick Museum of Art's beginnings as a space museum connected with Nevada's Space Research Institute, replete with exhibits about space travel and moon rocks, is quite fascinating. It evolved into an art gallery throughout time, with a current emphasis on underserved artists and neglected communities.

They are dedicated to exhibiting work by people of overlooked communities, such as BIPOCs and LGBTQIA+ people. They also work to lower obstacles for visitors, hoping to invite the same underserved communities to the museum and become art enthusiasts. The free museum features four distinct gallery spaces with varying artist-focused or themed exhibitions. It's open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and is closed on all state and federal holidays.
