RIVETING AMERICA: Bringing Together Fabrication, Fashion, and People
Opening May 2026 in the Our Nevada Stories Gallery
Who knew something so small could carry so much of a nation’s story? Through rivets, RIVETING AMERICA explores the tools, technologies, and hands that built Nevada and helped shape American industry.
From hunting and gathering to mining, ranching, fashion, and gaming, each riveted object reflects a unique chapter of Nevada history. Together, they remind us of the innovation, creativity, resilience, and hard work that define America.
This exhibit is part of America250 Nevada, the statewide commemoration of our nation’s 250th anniversary.
