Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art offers free admission
Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art will host its second annual free admission day on Saturday to welcome back loyal patrons and introduce new visitors to one of Las Vegas' most prestigious cultural outlets.
In honor of Smithsonian magazine's Annual Museum Day, which offers complimentary entry to designated museums and cultural institutions across the country, the gallery will welcome all guests free of charge to the current show, "A Sense of Place: Landscapes from Monet to Hockney," a revealing exploration of how landscape has been portrayed by artists throughout history.
Organized in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, "A Sense of Place" celebrates the ideals of natural scenery by artists including Claude Monet, David Hockney, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Vik Muniz and others. The collection features more than 30 artworks ranging from paintings, photographs and a video installation that contrast and compare both approach and expressionism in art.
The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. In order to gain complimentary entry, guests are asked to visit www.bellagio.com/bgfa to download an admission ticket. Tickets must be presented at the gallery's box office and are redeemable for two admissions per household.
"A Sense of Place: Landscapes from Monet to Hockney" is on display through January 2012.
