Rob McCoy, president and chief executive officer of The Neon Museum, thanks the Engelstad Foundation for its donation of $250,000 (£203,000) to fund a substantial portion of the costs needed to bring the exhibition to life.
McCoy says: “We are immensely grateful to the Engelstad Foundation for this generous demonstration of support of the most exciting art exhibitions ever to be staged in Las Vegas.”
The Neon Museum first opened its doors in 1996 as a non-profit organisation dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs.
