An exhibit on the art of gaming has opened at UNR's Knowledge Center, in partnership with Artown, the month-long celebration of the arts in Reno. For our local news segment Beyond the Headlines, KUNR's Michelle Bliss spoke to Donnelyn Curtis, the head of special collections for the library, about this unique collection of sculptures, showgirl costumes, neon signs, and many other artifacts of the local gambling industry.
