Nevada Museum of Art, Reno

This is Nevada's only accredited art museum and is housed in a strikingly modern building designed by internationally renowned architect Will Bruder, who was inspired by geological formations in Nevada’s landscape. You can see art from around the world in rotating exhibitions and view more than 2,000 works of art in the museum’s permanent collections. The four-level, 60,000-square-foot building also houses a café (Café Musée) with fresh, tasteful fare and a museum store with one-of-a-kind artistic gifts, jewelry, toys and books. There's also a 180-seat multimedia theater, a library and two outdoor sculpture galleries (including one on the museum’s top level—a must stop). First Thursday offers another reason to visit the museum, when folks come out in droves to drink, mingle and listen to music.
