Nevada Discovery Museum

			Proposed galleries at the Nevada Discovery Museum will encourage hands-on experiences and promote learning, understanding and curiosity. In addition to eight galleries at opening, the museum will also feature birthday rooms, kitchen facilities, picnic area, flexible programming space and a museum store. Nevada Stories Nevada's rich history of exploration, discovery and dramatic growth has been due to the strength and stamina of the diverse and adventurous people who have inhabited this land of rugged mountains and valleys of hot, dry deserts, pine and aspen forests; cold alpine lakes; and alkali flats left by desert lakes that dried out long ago. From the moment a visitor steps into Nevada Stories, they begin participating in Nevada's history. Here, the tales of our unique state can be experienced.
			Build It! Build It! will offer a rich building experience for museum-goers of all ages. Here, they can learn about building and the energy behind it. They can further understand alternative energy sources, make discoveries about materials and become aware of the many simple things consumers can do to conserve the world's resources.
			Little Discoveries A special place for the youngest museum visitors, the Little Discoveries space is just for infants, toddlers and their caregivers to provide a perfect, protected environment. This special learning environment focuses on the developmental abilities and milestones of infants and toddlers where they can experience, pretend, explore and discover. Also, caregivers are provided with an environment that helps them understand and enrich their little one's development.
			Cloud Climber The museum's unique climber will be created by Tom Lackey, combining natural forms, inherent beauty and architecture to create an exceptional space where children make their own adventures, feel bold and competent, and have good old-fashioned fun. The Cloud Climber gallery encourages children's gross-motor development and fosters exploration and problem-solving. It provides children and adults the opportunity to take risks within a safe surrounding.
			WaterWorks Reflecting the brilliance and wonder of Lake Tahoe, the Truckee River and Pyramid Lake, WaterWorks celebrates the importance of water. It provides visitors with conceptual water experiences to encourage children to experiment with water and explore many of its properties and impact on our environment.
