Overview
- New renderings show a 60,000-square-foot museum at Symphony Park wrapped in locally sourced stone with a broad canopy forming a shaded entry plaza.
- A canyon-like grand stair anchors the interior, leading to second-floor galleries designed as calm sanctuaries influenced by Paul R. Williams.
- Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is the architect of record, supporting the delivery of Kéré’s design within Las Vegas’s regulatory and technical context.
- The project carries an estimated $200 million budget, with the capital campaign reported past its halfway point and backed by gifts tied to Elaine Wynn and other trustees.
- A phased plan sets a 15,000-square-foot Gallery & Media Lab opening in fall 2026 near the site, a planned 2027 groundbreaking, and a 2029 target opening, with programming bolstered by a partnership with LACMA.
