This unusual museum has historic buildings relocated from various sites around the state, as well as contemporary local artifacts.
-
This huge collection of Elvis memorabilia is said to be worth between $3 million and $5 million. “The King’s” guitars and his 1955 Cadillac are on display, as are such memorable artifacts as his blue suede shoes. Don’t miss one of the five-times-a-day complimentary live performances – but is it Elvis?
-
Designed by award-winning architect Rem Koolhaas, this branch of the Guggenheim is larger than New York’s Grand Central Station. The $21-million building includes a skylight with retractable panels painted as a replica of the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Traveling exhibits rotate with the other Guggenheims.
-
The hall of fame for the heaviest, fastest, and tallest. Local record-holders are Brad Rodgers, owner of the largest collection of shot glasses, and Peter Rosendahl, with 26 records for feats accomplished on unicycles.
-
The inaugural exhibition in fall 2001, Masterpieces from the Hermitage and Guggenheim Collections , featured works by such monumental artists as Monet, Cezanne, and Picasso. One would expect nothing less.
-
Housed in a $20-million contemporary-style southwest building, the museum is a repository for both national and international works, with local arts and crafts in the gift shop.
-
Highlights include the international wildlife room and a live shark exhibit. The children’s hands-on exploration room is excellent, but the roars of the animated dinosaurs may elicit equally loud cries from frightened toddlers.
-
A fittingly flamboyant tribute to the king of kitsch. Don’t miss the customized cars – including a red, white, and blue convertible Rolls Royce – and pianos. Also on display are the trademark capes and sequined jackets, plus collections of objects from around the world, including a piano-shaped ring set with 260 diamonds.
-
With more than 100 hands-on exhibits, this is one of the finest children’s museums in the western USA. Children can skip along the Musical Pathway, toe-tapping out their favorite tunes on giant piano keys, and can learn about science through entertaining games. Little tots especially love the Bubble Pavilion and Toddler Towers.
-
One can easily become so entranced with the wax figures that their theatrical settings are ignored.
