About Museum Selfie Day: Mar Dixon originated Museum Selfie Day in January 2015 after visiting several museums with her young daughter. She managed a website dedicated to museums, art, and culture, which inspired her to create this fun event. At that time, Dixon ran a website focused on museums, art, and culture. She envisioned a one-day, crowd-sourced event to raise awareness of the significant collections housed in national and regional museums.
The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum is a unique and hidden gem in northwest Las Vegas. The 10,500-square-foot museum captures the extraordinary breadth of Abbey’s art, from abstract expressionist paintings to figure drawings, monumental sculptures and beyond. The museum property also features a courtyard, desert garden, outdoor sculpture garden and Abbey’s studio.
