An assessment of the museum’s facilities and preservation environment, resulting in a report that will guide improvements to the museum’s storage areas.

The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art requests funds so that it may hire Preservation Environment Specialist Jeremy Linden to carry out an in-depth assessment of the Museum’s facilities. His assessment will guide the Museum in the steps it needs to take in order to increase its preservation capabilities and plan renovations/upgrades to improve the storage and exhibition of its collection. These improvements are essential if the Museum - which is the only art museum in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada and one of the few places where Las Vegans can experience culture free of charge - is to fulfill its potential as an institution that preserves and creates a diverse art heritage for the region.
