You might be stuck in your house while under quarantine, but Las Vegas' Neon Museum is about to invite you on a virtual tour of the Tim Burton Exhibition at 4 p.m. EST today! What? But Steve, it's already 3:56 p.m.! What the name of the Maitlands are you trying to pull here? Relax, friend. The Neon Museum is well-aware of the fact that tons of art fanatics are looking to tune in, and so they're going to post the tour to their official Facebook page after the original broadcast has concluded.

"Wow! We have received a lot of questions about today's LOST VEGAS LIVE virtual guided tour at 1 p.m. PDT today. Here's what you need to know: Just visit our Facebook page at 1pm pdt today. If you've already LIKED and FOLLOWED our page, you should get a notification that we're live. But to be safe, just visit our page a little before 1 p.m. If you miss the live stream, don't worry! It will be posted to our page after broadcast. You can watch it any time if you visit the videos section of our page," Neon Museum said in a statement.

This is the first time in 10 years that Burton is putting his work on display in America, which is kind of blowing my mind considering that it's been more than a decade since I'd visited the exhibit in person, when it was set up in Los Angeles, California. Let me tell you, it was quite the sight to see, as the exhibit features puppets, sets and artwork from many of Burton's classic films, such as THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, BEETLEJUICE, MARS ATTACKS, and much, much more!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Join us on Friday, April 10 at 1 p.m. pdt for our first-ever virtual guided tour live on Facebook where we'll focus on the "Lost Vegas: Tim Burton @ The Neon Museum" artwork that is integrated with the collection of historic Las Vegas signs in the Neon Boneyard. #NeonMuseumFromHome â?¨ Facebook.com/NeonMuseum â ?â ?â ?â ?â ?â ?â ?â ?â ? From The Neon Museum's CEO Rob McCoy: "The exhibition was scheduled to continue through Sunday, April 12, but with the Museum's temporary closure due to COVID-19, we know thousands of art lovers will miss their chance to see Burton's outstanding exhibition. This live, virtual tour will take place especially for them — and will be enjoyable for anyone who appreciates Burton's work and iconic Las Vegas sign design."
