Overview
- New renderings show an earthy red mosaic-stone facade, a deep shade canopy, and a light-filled atrium centered on a canyon-like grand stair, with upper galleries influenced by Paul R. Williams and a recurring baobab motif.
- Planned for Symphony Park, the 60,000-square-foot facility would be Las Vegas’s first freestanding art museum, with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill serving as architect of record.
- The delivery plan targets a 2027 groundbreaking and a 2029 public opening as the project moves from design toward implementation.
- LVMA will present works shared from LACMA’s collection under a formal arrangement that LACMA director Michael Govan has characterized as a paradigm shift.
- The museum estimates a roughly $200 million cost including an endowment, reports passing the halfway point of its capital campaign, and plans a nearby 15,000-square-foot gallery and media lab to open next year.
