Liberace Museum

The Liberace Museum was located in Paradise, Nevada, a census-designated place in the Las Vegas Valley. It housed many stage costumes, cars, jewelry, lavishly decorated pianos and numerous citations for philanthropic acts that belonged to the American entertainer and pianist Wladziu Valentino Liberace, better known as Liberace.

The non-profit museum funded the Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts. The museum closed to the public on October 17, 2010, due to a drop in admissions. In January 2013, the Liberace Foundation announced plans to relocate the museum to Downtown Las Vegas, with a targeted opening date of January 2014. Those plans never materialized.

As of April 7th 2016, a new commercial location has opened called, "The Liberace Garage" featuring all 8 vehicles from the Liberace Museum - 1961 Mirrored Rolls-Royce Phantom V; 1952 Red, White, and Blue Rolls-Royce Convertible; 1972 Bradley GT (pictured below); Ford Model A replica; London Taxi; Oldsmobile Curved Dash replica; rhinestone-encrusted Duesenberg Roadster kitcar; and the "VolksRolls" Volkswagen Beetle customized to look like a Rolls-Royce. The space also features a rhinestone-encrusted Baldwin piano, and stage costumes worn by Liberace.

Liberace himself opened the museum on April 15, 1979. His brother George became the director and later George's wife, Dora, assumed that role. The museum was part of the Liberace Plaza, which Liberace owned and where his restaurant was also located. The museum had several buildings showcasing Liberace's unique costumes, pianos, cars, jewelry and artifacts. All the proceeds of the museum benefited the Liberace Foundation of Performing and Creative Arts. That foundation provided thousands of scholarships to college and graduate students. The Liberace Foundation is still operating in Las Vegas and manages the collection in private storage.
