Liberace Museum - History

History

Liberace himself opened the museum on April 15, 1979. His brother George became the director. The museum is part of the Liberace Plaza, where his restaurant was also located. The museum has two buildings: The Jewelry and Costume Gallery, and the other building where the pianos and cars are showcased. The Tivoli Gardens Restaurant still exists without Liberace's name, and is privately owned.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
