The Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum is a regional institution focused on natural history, science education, and the study of life across time. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, it grew from a community need for a museum that promotes understanding of global biodiversity and Earth’s history. It opened in 1991 with wildlife and prehistoric exhibits on loan. Since then, it has built a substantial own collection and interactive learning experiences, and in 2013 it earned accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums. The museum serves students, families, and other visitors seeking educational engagement with nature and science, offering exhibits and programs that foster understanding and appreciation. In 2026, it partnered with the Clark County School District to present a STEM festival from April 24 to May 2, expanding access to interactive events for southern Nevada students and their families.
