Guggenheim Hermitage Museum

The Guggenheim Hermitage Museum was an art museum located inside The Venetian resort, housing roughly 7,660 square feet of exhibition space with an open layout. Architect Rem Koolhaas designed the galleries so that natural light would enhance the presentation of the artworks throughout.

The museum opened on October 7, 2001, as a collaboration between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. This partnership brought together two renowned art institutions in a Las Vegas setting.

The exhibition program included works by Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, and Renoir, bringing European masterpieces to the Nevada entertainment district.

The museum was situated on the Las Vegas Strip and drew over one million visitors during its operation, with the vast majority being tourists. Its central location made it easily accessible for those exploring the Strip.

The venue brought together collections from two separate museum systems and displayed works by artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso, and Monet. This arrangement allowed European masterworks to find a home within a Las Vegas resort.
