The Neon Museum is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and cultural enrichment. The Neon Museum campus includes the outdoor exhibition space known as the Neon Boneyard, a visitors\u2019 center housed inside the former La Concha Motel lobby, and the Neon Boneyard Gallery which houses additional rescued signs and is available for weddings, special events, photo shoots and educational programs.<\/p>\n

Dedicated individuals from the private sector, as well as corporate and government entities, worked collaboratively to promote the preservation of these national treasures as significant pieces of artistic and historical importance. Each sign in the Neon Museum\u2019s collection offers a unique story about the personalities who created it, what inspired it, where and when it was made, and the role it played in Las Vegas\u2019 distinctive history.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Neon Museum collection chronicles changes and trends in sign design and technology through pieces ranging from the 1930s to the present day.<\/p>\n<\/div>
