The Nevada Museum of Art (NMA) is bringing us yet another in its remarkable string of outstanding exhibits. La Bella: Woman in a Blue Dress, a masterpiece by Renaissance artist Titian, will shine in the NMA's E. L. Wiegand Gallery starting on Saturday, September 24. The 1536 painting comes to us from the Galleria Palatina in Florence, Italy, and will be in Reno through November 20.

NMA hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday. The Nevada Museum of Art is located at 160 W. Liberty Street in downtown Reno.
