The Liberace Museum was located in Paradise, Nevada, a census-designated place in the Las Vegas Valley. It housed many stage costumes, cars, jewelry, lavishly decorated pianos and numerous citations for philanthropic acts that belonged to the American entertainer and pianist Wladziu Valentino Liberace, better known as Liberace. The non-profit museum funded the Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts. The museum closed to the public on October 17, 2010, due to a drop in admissions. In January 2013, the Liberace Foundation announced plans to relocate the museum to Downtown Las Vegas, with a targeted opening date of January 2014.〔Katsilometes, John (January 28, 2013) (Liberace Museum is planning a move downtown — to Neonopolis ). ''Las Vegas Sun''〕 Those plans never materialized. == History == Liberace himself opened the museum on April 15, 1979. His brother George became the director and later George's wife, Dora, assumed that role. The museum was part of the Liberace Plaza, which Liberace owned and where his restaurant was also located. The museum had several buildings showcasing Liberace's unique costumes, pianos, cars, jewelry and artifacts. All the proceeds of the museum benefited the Liberace Foundation of Performing and Creative Arts. That foundation provided thousands of scholarships to college and graduate students. The Liberace Foundation is still operating in Las Vegas and manages the collection in private storage.
