Look What Is Coming To The Cosmopolitan! To Much Of A Good Thing! Liberace's Costume Exhibit!

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas hosts Liberace’s return to the Las Vegas Strip for the first time in 30 years as The Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts presents Too Much of a Good Thing Is Wonderful: Liberace and the Art of Costume, an exhibit of the famed pianist’s personal and performance pieces running Nov. 25 through Jan.2.

The six-week exhibit features a number of Liberace’s decadent belongings such as a rhinestone piano, Liberace’s Rhinestone Roadster, an extravagant, curated costume collection, opulent European candelabras and video clips of performances. Visitors have the rare opportunity to view intricately-designed pieces from Liberace’s wardrobe including a virgin fox fur coat with 16-foot train, sequined jumpsuits, custom-made cowboy boots and more. The rhinestone piano will be displayed at The Chandelier with the Roadster nearby at the resort’s Las Vegas Boulevard entrance. A large selection of items will be available for exploration inside The Cosmopolitan’s pop-up space, located on the corner of the Las Vegas Strip off of the casino floor.

The exhibition is curated by Deirdre Clemente, Ph.D., assistant professor of history and associate director of the public history program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She also served as historical consultant for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby.

Donation boxes will be available for those wishing to donate to the Liberace Foundation’s scholarship fund.
