The Burlesque Hall of Fame: A Celebration of the Art of Tease
The Burlesque Hall of Fame is a museum and performance venue dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history, art, and culture of burlesque. Located in the heart of the Las Vegas Arts District, this unique institution offers visitors a chance to explore the rich heritage of this iconic form of entertainment.
Founded in 1990 by Jennie Lee, a former burlesque dancer herself, The Burlesque Hall of Fame began as a small collection housed in Lee's home. Over time, it grew into a full-fledged museum with an extensive collection that includes costumes, photographs, posters, props, and other memorabilia from burlesque's golden age.
Today, The Burlesque Hall of Fame is one-of-a-kind institution that attracts visitors from around the world. Its exhibits showcase not only the glamour and spectacle associated with burlesque but also its social significance as an art form that challenged gender norms and celebrated diversity.
In addition to its museum exhibits, The Burlesque Hall of Fame also hosts live performances featuring some of today's most talented performers. These shows offer audiences a chance to experience firsthand the energy and excitement that have made burlesque such an enduring part of American culture.
