This will be a unique afternoon where you will be able to see different vintage neon signs and art collected through the decades. There will be a presentation where you will see how neon is made and bent. You will also learn about the noble gases and the periodic table.
There is parking in the back of the museum. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check-in before our tour.

The Museum of Neon Art encourages learning, curiosity and expression through the preservation, collection and interpretation of neon, electric and kinetic art. Neon is a gateway between scientific principles and artistic expression. Neon illumination integrates electrical technology, creative design, and fundamental concepts of physics and chemistry. The Museum of Neon Art is the only museum in the world devoted exclusively to art in electric media, exhibiting electric and kinetic fine art, and outstanding examples of historic neon signs, for over three decades.
