On July 11, 2025, the Henderson Chamber of Commerce proudly participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the rebranding of the Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum. Formerly known as the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, the institution is evolving to reflect a stronger emphasis on science, technology, and community engagement—an exciting next chapter for a museum that has served the valley for 34 years.

A Regional Chamber Supporting a Diverse Economy

This event exemplifies the Henderson Chamber’s role as a regional business organization  that supports a wide range of industries—from manufacturing and construction to education, healthcare, and the arts. While many may associate chambers with traditional business sectors, our mission extends well beyond. We are proud to advocate for and uplift cultural institutions like the Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum because they play a vital role in Southern Nevada’s economy and quality of life.

Culture and Commerce Go Hand-in-Hand

Cultural institutions are more than just community assets—they’re also economic engines. Museums like this one inspire curiosity in science and nature, promote STEM education, and help shape the next generation of innovators. They also bring visitors into the area, supporting surrounding restaurants, retailers, and service providers.

By participating in this ribbon-cutting, the Henderson Chamber underscores the importance of these organizations in building a thriving, resilient region—where education, innovation, and economic development intersect.

A Shared Future of Innovation and Inclusion

The museum’s expanded identity comes at a time when community collaboration is more important than ever. Its renewed focus on science and natural history mirrors the values of progress, education, and opportunity that the Henderson Chamber works to foster across all industries.

As we continue supporting new business openings, expansions, and rebrandings across the valley, we’re reminded that our economy is strongest when every type of organization—from high-growth companies to cultural institutions—has a seat at the table.

The Henderson Chamber of Commerce is proud to celebrate milestones like these—and to stand alongside the people and places shaping a brighter future for all of Southern Nevada.
