Over the next couple of years, the museum plans to unveil displays that will replace exhibits in the entire gallery. The new exhibits will offer a broad outline of the history and traditions of the Las Vegas area through topics and subjects that resonate with the community. Some areas that will be explored include the arts, social institutions, architecture, trade, land resources and sources of conflicts. Displays will include interactive components to engage and challenge visitors. Traditional text panels and displays will be augmented with other forms of media to provide a hierarchy of information in a variety of learning styles.
An area will be designated for temporary exhibits. Changing exhibits allow more of the collection to be displayed, on a rotating basis. It provides space to explore topical subjects and to examine some subjects in more depth than could be accomplished in the permanent exhibit area. Who knows? The big pants may reappear.

Linda, it was wonderful to visit with you the other day and to see the changes in the museum. I guess it was about five years ago that we coordinated the transfer of the Theodore Roosevelt exhibit from Humanities Texas to the CLVNM museum. Everything looks much better and I'm delighted to hear your plans for the future. I loved the Scrapbooking Exhibit, well-designed and executed. I picked up a copy of the Friends of the Museum newsletter and thought it was very well done (I plan to become a friend), and this blog is a very good way to involve the public in the museum. Hope to see you on my next visit.
