Nevada Museum of Art

The Nevada Museum of Art is an art museum in Reno, Nevada. Located at 160 West Liberty Street in Reno, it is the only American Alliance of Museums (AAM) accredited art museum in the state of Nevada. The museum has chosen a thematic approach, placing a special emphasis on human interaction with the land and the protection of nature in its collections and exhibitions. It is globally considered a leading institution and repository for Land art and Earthworks, holding extensive archival materials. In 2003, the museum moved into a new building designed by architect Will Bruder. In 2024, the Museum began construction on a 50,000 square foot expansion to the Museum, which fully opened in August 2025. The museum's Permanent Collection, which consists of more than 5,000 works of 19th through 21st-century art, is divided into four focus areas unified by an overarching focus on natural, built and virtual environments. This thematic, rather than historical or stylistic specialization is a natural outgrowth of the institution's collecting practices over the years and offers varied perspectives on the ways in which humans interact with the environments. "As curator of exhibitions and collections," Curator at Large Ann Wolfe explains, “the images suggest that the earth's surface offers an irrefutable record of some of civilization's most impressive endeavors – as well as its worst failures.”
