The Nevada State Museum in Carson City welcomes you to explore the historic, cultural and natural heritage that defines the region through people and place.
Take a walk through time
Discover Nevada through the museum's permanent exhibits and collections. Want to see how Nevadans coined money over a century ago? Start your tour at the Carson City Mint building. Take your trip even further back in time to Nevada's Changing Earth and over 40 million years of evolution. If you prefer manmade history, travel deep into a famous Nevada mine.
Interact and learn
Experience the state through science, art and lecture through educational programs and a series of ongoing educational events. Dissect a flower, explore the desert or participate in a discussion about the strange things that live under the surface of Lake Tahoe. All ages and interests are welcome.
