Liberace Museum, Entertainment museum in Paradise, Nevada.
The Liberace Museum is a facility in Paradise, Nevada, dedicated to the career of the entertainer and pianist. The rooms house wardrobe, ornamented keyboard instruments, vehicles, and jewelry presented in thematically arranged areas.
The institution opened in the late seventies and remained accessible to visitors until 2010. It preserved the legacy of an artist whose performances merged classical piano music with stage shows that reached audiences worldwide.
The collection shows how elaborate stage clothing and richly ornamented instruments became the trademark of an entertainer career. Each costume and piano on display tells the story of merging classical music with show entertainment that attracted audiences over decades.
The original museum closed on October 17, 2010, so the white facade with its gold "LIBERACE MUSEUM" lettering and round-arched glass entrance can no longer be visited as a museum. The foundation still manages the collection in Las Vegas, and the museum sign was restored and relit in 2014 at the Neon Museum boneyard.
The museum's sign was restored and relit in 2014, then placed in the Neon Museum boneyard, where the gold lettering of the old facade can still be seen. The building itself, with its round-arched glass entrance, stands on the former Liberace Plaza at Tropicana and Spencer.
