SUPPORT THE NEON MUSEUM

Iconic neon signs that once lit up our streets and hearts, are waiting to be reilluminated. Every donation helps protect these neon beacons, ensuring the vibrant stories of Las Vegas are never lost. With your support, we can restore these beloved pieces of history, so they continue to inspire and captivate future generations.

The Barbara Molasky Acquisition Fund allows The Neon Museum to purchase historical artifacts, signage, and ephemera, and allows us to grow our fine art collection. The fund, seeded by the Molasky family, is named after the museum’s founding president and 2022 Glow Award honoree.

Give today so future generations are able to experience and learn from the signs of Las Vegas’ storied history.

Unrestricted gifts are vital to the fulfillment of our mission to collect, preserve, study and exhibit iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and cultural enrichment. Your financial support helps to further the ongoing mission-based programs of the museum including youth and adult education, sign conservation and exhibition of historic signs in the Neon Boneyard and North Gallery.

Donors to the Sign Conservation Fund can take pride in knowing that their gifts aide the restoration, rehabilitation and preservation efforts of The Neon Museum.

Your gift to The Neon Museum’s Sign Conservation Fund will help maintain the collection for future generations.

The museum takes great care to determine the best way to maintain each sign’s integrity while not losing the artifact’s original message.  Sign conservation strategies vary depending on the need of a particular piece.  The Museum always uses qualified experts to perform conservation work and focuses on three forms of sign conservation: full restoration, rehabilitation and preservation.

Full Restoration returns the sign to its original state as much as possible. Fully restoring a sign is very costly since it requires updating the electrical components and all neon tubing or glass bulbs.

Rehabilitation involves resurfacing or repainting the sign’s coloring and topography. Rehabilitation does not include electrical work.

Preservation Strategies strive to prevent further sun and wind damage to the sign on the outside and remove debilitating debris that could damage the sign from the inside.
