Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art

The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is the main art museum at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, presenting rotating exhibitions of contemporary art alongside a permanent collection with particular strengths in Latin American and Mesoamerican works. The museum's UNLV location gives it a naturally diverse audience that reflects the university's extraordinary student body — one of the most ethnically diverse in the United States — and its programming consistently honors that diversity by presenting work from a wide range of cultural traditions and contemporary practices. The Barrick's holdings in Mesoamerican art provide a distinctive perspective on the deep history of the Americas that few Nevada institutions can match.
