Welcome to the May Museum! We house the personal and private collection of Wilbur D. May. During a lifetime of world travel and adventure, Mr. May accumulated thousands of rare and exotic artifacts, which he brought back to his Reno home. Since his death in 1982, Mr. May's unique ethnographic collection has been on display for the public to enjoy.
