Goldwell Open Air Museum Walking Tours

Surround yourself with unexpected art and uncommon history in one of the most beautiful places in Nevada. On a Goldwell Open Air Museum Walking Tour, you’ll learn all about the larger-than-life sculptures dotting the Amargosa Valley and the artists who pioneered this outdoor gallery. Find out how a 25-foot cinder block woman, a 24-foot steel prospector (with his penguin companion), and ethereal ghosts came to call Goldwell Open Air Museum home on a guided walking tour. On this guided, hour-long tour just outside Beatty, visitors explore Goldwell Open Air Museum with a knowledgeable guide. You’ll hear about the American and international artists whose installations have created an only-in-Nevada art experience. Some of the artworks are more interactive, while others require you to look but not touch (or sit). Save room in your camera roll for sights like a re-imagined “Last Supper,” a sheet metal crane, and a meditative labyrinth. Goldwell Open Air Museum Walking Tours are offered on select dates each month, so be sure to check their website for the latest details. On those select dates, there’s typically a tour from 11 a.m. to noon and another from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Walking tours are $25 for adults, $20 for Nevada residents, and $15 for seniors. Due to the extreme summer heat, Goldwell Open Air Museum generally offers walking tours September through May. Travel Nevada Pro Tip Since Goldwell Open Air Museum is outside, the terrain is rough and undulating. Guides can give a static, wheelchair friendly tour from the visitor center and point out the different sculptures from that flat terrain.
