Help create the new Nevada exhibition at The Discovery!
Rugged, dramatic, diverse — this is how our great state will be portrayed in The Discovery’s planned exhibition, Nevada. A reimagining of the museum’s current Nevada Stories exhibition, Nevada will reside in a new location within the museum’s walls and will help create an understanding of our state’s beautiful landscapes, contrasting regions, diverse flora and fauna, and the varied industries and careers they foster.
This 3,000 square-foot exhibition, boasting more than 30 hands-on exhibits, will be a welcoming space for long-time Nevadans, new residents, and those visiting our state. Nevada will encourage museum visitors to become familiar with a variety of topics like the species that share our land, the clarity of Lake Tahoe, predator-prey relationships, land resource management, native and invasive species, and more. The exhibition aims to inspire stewardship of the land, and most importantly, a lasting sense of place.
The Discovery has already raised $1 million toward this $3 million project. Our goal is to raise $100,000 in a single day towards our remaining $2 million goal, and to build some momentum and excitement around this project. Donate to The Discovery during Nevada’s Big Give and you’ll be helping the museum continue to commemorate and share the many things that make our great state of Nevada home. Thank you!
