About Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art

The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is a museum on the main campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), established in 1967. It began as a natural history museum focused on the environment of Nevada and the wider Southwestern United States; its most significant early acquisition was a private collection of pre-Columbian art donated in 1979. In December 2011 it joined the UNLV College of Fine Arts and became the anchor of the Galleries at UNLV.
