Founded in 1969, the museum exhibits and studies the natural history of the Southwest. Featured is the Nevada State Fossil, the Ichthyosaur, a marine dinosaur about the size of a whale. The place also houses the most comprehensive bird collection in the state. Displays include baskets, weavings and pottery. In addition to the permanent archaeological, anthropological and historical displays, an area is set aside for traveling national and international exhibits. Plants indigenous to the area are presented in the outdoor arboretum. A gift shop is also located on the premises. Admission is free.

Marjorie Barrick Museum - Formerly known as the Natural History Museum (as opposed to the existing Las Vegas Natural History Museum, and now you can see why they changed the name), here's a cool place to beat the heat and noise of Vegas, while examining some attractive, if not overly imaginative, displays on Native American crafts and Las Vegas history.
