RENO, Nev. (AP) - The City of Dust exhibit is making its way to the Nevada Museum of Arts in Reno.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports (https://on.rgj.com/2rZNzGE ) the exhibit, which traces the more than three-decade evolution of Burning Man, will open to the public July 1.

Burning Man is an annual event that started as a bohemian beach gathering in San Francisco in 1986 and has morphed into a modern-day pop-up city in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.



More than 68,000 people flock to the desert each year to form a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance.

The 300-piece collection of Burning Man relics will remain open until Jan. 7, 2018.

This year’s Burning Man gathering is scheduled for Aug. 27 to Sept. 4.
