Joslyn Art Museum

The Joslyn is a great art museum. I saw a Thomas Heart Benton, a Monet, and a Degas. I can't help but compare it to the Nelson-Atkins, even though it is smaller with a smaller collection. Just like the Nelson, it is a few buildings with different styles attached to each other. The buildings are just as beautiful as the art they house. It's a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. I really appreciated that many of the signage was in English and Spanish. The grounds are beautiful.

It is a free museum. Dogs are allowed on the property, but not in the museum. I recommend picking up a map in the lobby, as there are lots of rooms and hallways. You can very easily spend a couple of hours there. There are certain rooms in the museum that you can't go in without a ticket, but most of the museum is open for anybody. They have beautiful paintings and artifacts. The architecture in the building is amazing, and they have engravings on the outside of the building as well.

This was my first time visiting Joslyn in almost 25 years as I no longer live in the area. I grew up in Omaha and visited Joslyn many times over the years for school trips, for family enlightenment of the arts, also for their Jazz on the Green concerts where we would visit the museum before the concerts. Visiting the Joslyn this time I was very impressed with the recent building additions as well as the art collections in the various galleries. Well done Joslyn, this museum would be good fit for any city anywhere. Plus free parking and free admission, wow.

Building is gorgeous and the newer addition is stunning. Everything is so well kept and immaculate. Such an interesting story of the man and woman that started it and I was impressed with the foundations supporting it and the artwork. Free admission supported by The Holland Foundation-so generous!

The Original part of the building, made of Georgia Pink Marble, and the addition with the Glass Atrium are a piece of art themselves. The gardens are beautiful. It wasn't too busy on my visit. Parking was not an issue as I had anticipated. The museum is free, some special exhibitions are not though.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this museum. In addition to offering stunning architecture, the art itself is eclectic and on par with some of the museums we have explored in Europe. There is also an amazing room downstairs for kids to express their creativity. Truly, this museum offers something for all ages.

Absolutely stunning museum! I would definitely recommend. Beautiful artwork and wonderful place to spend the afternoon. It is free of charge, clean, and lovely.

What a thrill to see and experience the new renovations and additions. The place was humming and buzzing, so encouraging to see this love for the finer things being taken in by a cross-section of generations. Beautiful. We took part in a well prepared tour of the Great Plains artists that promoted discussion and input. All was so excellent.

This is a surprisingly impressive museum near downtown, with a stunning new wing that we didn't visit. The museum is free and there's a private lot and street parking, also free. (Some special exhibits have a fee, but it's only about $10.) Since they grafted the new wing onto the old museum, reading the maps and figuring out which elevator goes where can be a challenge. The new wing features a sweeping lobby with a beautiful spiral staircase to the old building. The Egyptian, Asian, and Ancient Mediterranean collections are small but mighty - there are several nice Greek redware pots; a small collection of gold mummy amulets; and some crude boat models. I had seen a reference to their bust of God's Wife of Amun Amenirdis in an article, so I was excited to see her. There is a small medieval art collection, a fairly impressive collection of Impressionists; a Rembrandt; a Reynolds; an Angelica Kauffman; and a painting of Napoleon with his son the King of Rome. In addition they have a Degas ballerina statue; a small Rodin; and a small statue of Marie Antoinette on her way to the guillotine. There is a very small collection of Tiffany glass, mostly vases, and a large collection of American art, featuring a wide selection of American Indian beadwork and buffalo robes to present the Native perspective alongside the romanticized Western landscapes. If you've gone through the American wing, stop in the Founders Room - it's where the well-connected used to rest and reflect before the museum was redone, and now you too can relax on a comfy couch in a beautiful Art Deco room under the watchful eyes of founder Sarah Joslyn and her husband George. Impressive gift shop and what looks like a nice cafe, but we'd spent probably two hours in the original building, so we'll have to check that and the new wing out next time.

It's been a few weeks, but I happened to be browsing yelp and noticed all the negative reviews are very similar to my experience. It was my first time at the Joslyn, and although I have been to the likes of MoMA and the Louvre, I was very happily surprised with how elegant, intriguing, and memorable it was. I felt like I hadn't appreciated art before like I had that day. There are multiple gorgeous Renoir, some Monet, and Degas in their collection that I thoroughly enjoyed - and I couldn't bring myself to step away from The King of Rome. However, a very dark smear on the day, which I still enjoyed despite, was feeling like I was being harassed by a particular member of staff. It felt like she was following us around specifically to loudly embarrass us in front of everyone in the room. We were told at the front desk to stay at least one foot away from the art (and at 23 and 24 years old I believe we can handle these directions, but I digress, the general public is always questionable and I acknowledge and respect this). After the attendant came up to us the first time, we were very wary; we actually measured up the pamphlet/map the front desk gave us to around 10 inches, and used that, held in the air several inches away from the paintings, to ensure we were at LEAST 12 inches (and definitely at around 18" realistically) away from the art. She came up to us AGAIN despite making a conscious effort to keep at least a foot away, interrupting us whilst we were genuinely excited about admiring and discussing the art. It put a seriously sour taste in my mouth, to the point that if she had approached us again I probably would have been as rude as she was. This is yet another reason I waited to make a review, I was so genuinely upset by this employee's behavior towards us that I didn't feel I could make an objective review without being upset, and even now I can feel my blood pressure rising. The detail on The King of Rome is so immaculate and captivating and I felt I was unable to truly appreciate it because of this looming snobbish attitude like a sticky cloud in the air. We stood close enough to the carpet-sample-wall exhibit to discuss the difference in fiber colors, and yet no other attendant we passed during our time seemed to have an issue with the way we were handling ourselves around the art. I will say that our visit was refreshed by a young man at the register in the gift shop who aspires to be a stand-up comedian. He gave us a horrible run at his stand-up routine, but he was so kind and happy. If anyone would ever be the embodiment of bright yellows and springtime, it would be him. He was confident in himself, great conversation, and overall just resumed my happiness and satisfaction with my experience at The Joslyn. I truly would be giving this review 3 stars or less if not for the gift shoppe attendant.

I really enjoyed going to this museum. It's free parking, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The museum is always clean and kept together. I love how they have staff throughout the museum to answer questions. This museum being free makes it even better. The cafe food I wouldn't recommend unless you just need a small snack but you can bring your own lunch as well to enjoy in the cafe area for a rest. The bathrooms are always clean. When I need to just clear my mind walking through the museum and its peaceful aura seems to help. I highly recommend whether you on a solo outing or with family members this museum is a good one to visit.

I am in shock that I've been 12 yrs yelp Elite and I am now getting around to leaving a review for the local art museum in town! For someone who loves frequenting all art museums, it's about damn time I put in my 2 cents! I think perhaps I was just waiting for the remodel to happen and boy was it worth the wait! Ya'll, it finally feels like a legit art museum w/ the glow up! Also, clean slate food co became the food offerings in the cafe and every single person in our family often times crave certain items on their menu. This happens to happen at least monthly if not more, so we usually go on their monthly night at the museum event where they have extra presentations/activities going on to usually collaborate on what traveling exhibit they are featuring. Even w/o the extra bonuses, we all (especially our kids) love the new art works feature in the basement where you can create your own art. We have been here so many times and it never gets old! All of this and it's completely free! I get conflicted on whether places should charge a fee for admission b/c art is a product, but I love that no one should be shun away from enjoying art too! With that said you do need to pay for the featured gallery, but it is free on the museum nights and one Saturday a month also. However, the permanent collection is pretty amazing in its own right! If coming to Omaha this is one place not to miss for sure!

It's been a while since I've been to the Joslyn, but it was the perfect spot for us to stroll around while our baby slept. Museum entry is FREE! The new wing is really beautiful and feels both modern but also like it has always been a part of the museum. As a new mom, I also appreciated the really nice changing rooms for babies. We didn't eat here today, but the cafe has delicious food, too!

I've always enjoyed going here with my dad. One time, when waiting on a flight, he and I went through the museum and took photos with the artwork. It was a great memory and something that I'm always thankful that we did together! Even when it's a place you might not find as being exciting, it's still a place that can bring lasting memories!

The Joslyn Art Museum is a free admission art museum in the heart of Omaha NE. Lots of parking along with friendly and educational staff. Having someone open the main door for guests into the building when it was 100 degrees F outside was above and beyond...! The young lady who greeted us at the front briefed us on the free galleries...and the visiting display that required a purchased ticket to view. Staff is avaiaable throughout the museum, stationed outside or nearby every major gallery, if you have any questions and need direction. The museum is easy to navigate. The galleries are easy to find and there is an efficient flow through each to the next. This isn't the biggest art museum I've been to, but I enjoyed the visit. I was impressed with the quality and presentation of the galleries and displays in the Joslyn Art Museum...

I just visited the renovated Joslyn Museum and was very impressed! They did such a good job at blending the historic parts of the building with the new additions. It feels modern but still keeps some of its original charm. We also enjoyed checking out their café. They have really good food options and, surprisingly, really great coffee. The exhibits were so well curated, and there was a nice mix of classic pieces and newer contemporary art. It's a great space to spend a morning or afternoon. Perfect spot for families, date or even a solo visit. I definitely plan on coming back since a couple of hours didn't seem like enough for us!

Neat experience and FREE!!! Very clean and open and the workers are always walking around making sure you are not causing trouble but more importantly to answer any questions you have about the art works. They also have a small gift shop near the entrance and a cafe as well.

It has been at least 20 years since the last time I visited the Joslyn museum. With the recent expansion, we decided it was time to visit and see the new section. Besides the additional space, the Joselyn has made some great art acquisitions. My thing is European art and their selection has expanded from what I remember. I especially like the El Greco they had on display. They have areas for just about any kind of art, including some interesting modern art (usually not my thing). Access was easy off the highway, parking was available even though the lot was almost full (rainy day so people looking for things to do indoor), reasonably priced cafeteria, plenty of bathrooms, and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

The weather was cold and I had time to waste so why not go check out the museum . . . Did I mention it's FREE?! This museum has a mix of various types of art (contemporary, modern, historic, Indian, etc) that everyone can find something that catches their eye and makes them take a second glance. They also have an instillation of trains that cost $10 to see however there is a day of the month that the museum is open late and you can see that for free as well. With that said I wandered around the museum and they have seats available so you can sit through out the museum, looking at some pieces in amazement and others wondering if I had missed my calling. They say art is in the eye of the beholder as everyone may see something different when looking at it. I was blown away by the art work of Renoir, Monet, Warhol, Pollock, Degas, but I was also intrigued by things like the history of the Indians in Omaha and "The beauty of change". I highly recommend that you take a trip to the museum and see these beautiful pieces for yourself. I would definitely come back and see it again.

The Edgar Degas' sculpture "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" is one of my favorite art pieces anywhere, so amazing to have such a classic right here in Omaha. Really enjoyed exploring the newly renovated and expanded museum. Disappointed to see the beautiful Chihuly glass two-story piece was removed, but I hear it is going to be displayed somewhere else in town.

Wonderful art museum in downtown Omaha filled with a wide variety of art treasures ...paintings, sculptures, installations, mosaics and more...nice little restaurant on premises...and, it's FREE admission..definitely recommended if you have free time in downtown Omaha

I am so glad that Joslyn has finally re-opened! I moved to Omaha about 6 years ago and had not gotten the chance to explore the Joslyn, and I am so glad that we did. The Joslyn is a beautiful building that houses even more thoughtful and beautiful art. I loved looking at all of the piecies, and thought that the gallaries were curated perfectly to capture emotion and display the art. My favorite piece was bright flowers that was on a pure black background. The striking difference between the colors was very eye-catching. Not to mention this painting was created in the 1600's- adding to the appeal and constantly making me wonder what life was like back then. It was interesting to see all of this old artwork that offered a glimpse into the foods and scenes that our ancestors encountered. Not to mention, admission is FREE! The joslyn is the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon!

Visiting the Joslyn is something I did since I was a kid. I loved (and still do) looking at the art on display and letting my imagination run wild. Before the museum closed for renovation, I took my kids and spent most of the time in art works (the kid section of the museum) and in the sculpture garden. Now, we spent most of our time in the newly expanded contemporary area. I love that the gift shop is in the open and not in a cramped, dark room. When the weather is nice, there is a patio one can sit outside. I heard good things about the cafe. The sculpture garden (and water feature) is still there. The only downside is parking on the property has been reduced.

Not a huge museum person, but I stopped by since it was free and I am so glad I went!! The museum is massive and so beautiful! There is such a wide variety of art, so there is something for everyone. Right when you step inside, you can appreciate the gorgeous modern architecture of the building. There are tons of rooms and galleries to explore. The shop also sells a variety of merchandise such as prints, books, postcards, cups, cards, puzzles, stationary, socks, etc. the cafe is situated in a nice area with floor to ceiling windows and ceiling glass windows as well. Love it!! And there's a big chihuly art sculpture by the windows as well near the cafe seating. Workers were super friendly. There's an area with coat hangers for your large jackets and coats. Parking was free. And admission was free as well - so crazy!! My expectations were low since it's free, but it might have been my favorite museum so far, even better than the ones in Seattle and LA! Highly recommend!

Definitely the highlight of our family visit to Omaha! This museum has a beautiful open space, filled with diverse art, and creativity. One of my favorite art museums that I've ever visited, and I've visited quite a few. Highly recommended and will be revisiting as often as I can.

Took my girlfriend here and really enjoyed the visit. The building itself is beautiful, sleek, modern, peaceful, and the layout makes it easy to take your time and soak it all in. The cafe was a great spot to relax. It was quiet, and the Mediterranean salad was well made. As for the art, my favorite piece was Night on the Oregon Trail by Frank Tenney Johnson. There's something about the way he used dark tones that still somehow felt warm and vibrant. He captured the stillness and comfort of a quiet night on the trail in a way that really stuck with me. Highly recommend checking it out whether you're into art, architecture, or just looking for a peaceful place to spend a few hours.

This is a marvelous museum for all, regardless of age and experience with art/history. And it has a fantastic collection of both modern/contemporary and more historic pieces (artists included: Degas, Rembrandt, El Greco, and Konstantin Makovsky, among many others). Immediately upon walking in, there's a cute gift shop with art and photography books, clothing/accessories, and other souvenirs, including a section for kid toys. I also noticed that it was free admission (seemingly every day) and for everyone, which I thought was wonderful! The building itself can also be considered art: from the parts we explored it has at least 2 stories, with each room hosting a variety of pieces from different artists and eras. There was also a cafe/eating area, a sculpture garden, and several sections with chairs and couches where you could simply relax. Overall this was a great museum and a rich experience that I thoroughly enjoyed! If I'm ever back (and when the weather is a bit warmer) I'd love to explore it more and get a better look around the gardens and other rooms!

Coming here to say I HIGHLY recommend the studio classes at the Joslyn! A great way to spend a few hours a week and work those creative juices. Affordable and fun way to learn more painting skills. Just finished the acrylic painting class and was very happy with the results. Can't wait for the next one

We went to see the new addition of modern art. The outside looks more like a beautiful casino than an art museum-architecture is beautiful and modern. The exhibit halls are roomy with life-size pictures and statues. There's a wide variety of art here. Access to the original museum is easy going through the inside and there is also a dining area if you want to get a light bite to eat. We were proud to show it to out-of-town visitors .

My husband looooves going to the Joslyn and we were both itching to get back after their renovations. We've been back twice since it's opened so far and it is lovely! There is so much open space and natural light and the outdoor area is lovely as well. You definitely won't be disappointed with an afternoon spent here, made sweeter by the fact that it's always free! This review, however, is primarily about the new dining area/cafe. The menu here is so mouthwatering, I feel like I need to try it all and maybe one day I will be successful in that. We went recently for a lunch and truly had a very tasty, satisfying meal overall. I got the kimchi grilled cheese and my husband wanted to try the special of the day which was a vegetarian succotash. We shared a side of the Bombay potatoes. The kimchi in my sandwich wasn't super strong, but added a very nice tang to a very rich and creamy sandwich! I would 100% eat this sandwich again and maybe even try to make it at home - it's so good! My husband also really enjoyed his succotash and the bites I had were delicious, but he did comment that it wasn't quite as filling as he had hoped. The Bombay potatoes were a bit disappointing to both of us - it was the only dish that was lacking in flavor and was overpowered by the yogurt compared to how many potato pieces were there. This dish I probably wouldn't order again unless the recipe changed significantly. I washed it all down with an iced tea sweetened with simple syrup. It was a very lovely afternoon with a great meal. I look forward to trying more from their menu!

The art ranging from ancient times to modern art was interesting to view especially the abstract art and the portrait that resembled kind of like Ronald Reagan. The fountain in the center of the building was also eye-pleasing to admire along with the sculpture garden right outside of the building.

Decided to stop in for my birthday since I had never been and not to mention that it's free. Awesome. Lots of cool and beautiful stuff friendly staff and the building so pretty too.

Finally get the chance to revisit this place after 6 years. The architecture and the design looks more sleek and modern yet minimalist. I especially like the temporary art installation / gallery like the Japanese art, it provides a different type of brushing and details as compared to the European arts, not to mention there's a variety of classic and contemporary art as well - and they're free admission! (Except for the special exhibit). Definitely will revisit and highly recommended if you would like a museum date!

I was so happy to come back to the Joslyn Art Museum for the first time since the renovations! I love how admission to the museum is now free for all which makes art more accessible for anyone! I love to come here with friends to browse the various galleries and I am always in awe of how they have Monet as well as other incredible artists. (I don't think I'll ever get over how old some of the art is yet how it is in such great condition, honestly think that's magical). I love the added area with it feels more inviting and open with the many windows. I think the Joslyn is a beautiful art museum and I'm so glad it's here in Omaha!

My husband and I really liked this spacious museum and historically interesting and beautiful art. Very clean and everything was very well kept

The Joslyn Art Museum is the most recent place that we have visited here in Omaha. It is a large complex which was recently renovated and expanded, housing a wide variety of artwork--some are beautiful pieces while we wondered why others were even qualified as art... My wife several times commented, "I could do that". The American Art section displayed several Native American items, including painted buffalo robes. That section connected most closely with me, since this area was frontier land when various explorers and pioneers temporarily settled here during their treks westward. The European Art galleries included a couple of Monet paintings. I much preferred the American and European artwork to the contemporary art which is exhibited in the newer building. The museum's buildings themselves are good artwork. The exteriors present an interesting mix of old and new architecture. The spacious interiors provide plenty of room which allows for a peaceful, relaxed experience.

I'm usually not one for art museums but this blew my breath away. There were so many interesting pieces and wonderful works that my family really enjoyed. I brought my family and we couldn't stop mentioning the stalagmites made entirely of buttons. I loved the fountain and some of the earlier pieces within the southern building. If you happen to get a little hungry, there's a cafe within. They don't allow the goodies through the museum, but the option of having a cafe is always nice! I highly recommend if you're looking for something new!

This is such an amazing thing to have in downtown Omaha. I was pleasantly surprised by how big it is on the inside and since it had renovations done, it had been a long time since I have visited. I spent a few hours here and definitely want to go back again! I'm excited that they update and change exhibits. Overall a good experience. I have major, major respect for all the artists and appreciative of the staff. They even had audio and visual exhibits!

When your family, friends, s/o's family and friends come, whomever really, come have them join you on your quest to enjoy the art that Joslyn has to offer! I'm only an amateur art connoisseur, and I really enjoy walking around to witness great art structures, pieces, and even alternating exhibits. The Clean Slate café also has great food and coffee/drink selections - check them out!

Love the new wing they built to the Joslyn, they've really made this become more of a "big city" museum than an Omaha-size museum. I liked the museum before, it was well thought out with the design and curated collections, but now it feels like so much more. I really enjoyed all the new modern pieces and multimedia pieces in the new wing, and the changes to the cafe and gift shop complete the package. My friend and I came for the refugee fair (which itself was incredible, highly recommend you attend next year!), and we stayed for lunch. Clean Slate Cafe has really done something special with the food options, including wine and beer choices, and lovely desserts. I got a salmon Niçoise salad with a glass of Prosecco, and my friend got a noodle bowl, strawberry lemonade, and chocolate dessert. We both rated them 10/10 meals, and lingered over them for a long chat in the sunshine flowing in through the glass walls.

Wanted to update since I was finally able to tour the new 2024 addition that kept the Joslyn closed for 2 years. The new space is absolutely beautiful!! The ample light, big windows and curved architecture give it a real peaceful vibe. The gift shop is large and spacious, not a bit cramped like the previous one. I bought a jigsaw puzzle. A bit pricey but a nice souvenir of my afternoon spent here. The Durham Cafe in the 1994 section has a lot of seating, even some outdoors. The grounds are green and beautiful. The galleries in the new section were big. It felt huge with lots to see. One could almost get lost up there. I noticed they had stations where one could grab a portable seat to carry around (something that may come in handy for me someday). I was there today for a musical tribute to Jacque Brel sponsored by the Alliance Francaise Omaha. It was in Abbott Hall which seats about 100 people. Not a bad seat in the house! I've been wondering where I wanted to go for my birthday - I think I might drag along my spouse and we can eat at the Durham Cafe and wander around the grounds more this time.

Very impressive collection of a wide variety of art from many centuries and cultures. Appreciate that it's free admission (except for viewing the special exhibits). Friendly staff and nice gift shop.

The museum recently reopened after being closed for 2 years for major renovations. Worth the wait! They have REALLY stepped up here. The new building is beautiful. The art looks great, everything has been cleaned, labeling has been updated. What matters to me is that over the past several years they have been mindful that they needed a broader diversity of artists, to give a larger picture of the world than had been reflected in the old collection. They have done this well. I was really impressed with their expansion of Indigenous American art and voices. This was much-needed, and I think it has made this museum into something really special. Omaha's not a small town anymore. This museum is world-class. I like that the museum has expanded hours, and I like that the cafe is now open the entire time the museum is open (well, the kitchen does close an hour before the museum does, but that's way better than 2pm like it was). I have eaten there twice. The food was delicious and it's reasonably priced. One thing about the Joslyn that really makes it special is that it FREE and accessible to all. I think that sometimes they will have special exhibits that require ticket purchases but that's the exception. They have also done a great job with kid-friendly activities. Go visit! It's FREE, so you don't have to make a whole day for it if you don't have a lot of time.

The new Joslyn art museum is incredible, I can't believe that it's free! There is a great play area for children in the basement. We love the Chihuly glass exhibits. They also have art classes for children or adults! Recommend checking out the young art patrons program!

Such a fun date! FREE!!! Gotta love a free date! The abstract art is so fun to make stories about.

As a light art lover, I really enjoy the activity of just walking around the museums and reading the fine prints next to the art pieces on the walls. Really nothing much else to it for me, but Joslyn Art elevates your experience by its great Clean Slate Café, as well as the art events they host! I also enjoy their rotating exhibitions piece - I always check their website to see what's coming up next!

Reopened finally! And free to the public! The Joslyn Art Museum v2.0 combines the masonry and style of American Art Deco from 1931 with the post-modernity, large-window-large-light-exposure of newer constructions. The galleries are well organized and while, no NY Met or Guggenheim in terms of size, it does offer enough artistic variety to keep you entertained, pensive and to reflect about the human condition in all its forms. If you're stopping by Omaha, or if you live here and want to disconnect... this gem of the Midwest is here to keep you mesmerized.

Refreshed! The Schraeger Gallery with the collection of modern art is amazing. The addition and architecture are beautiful.

The Cafe at the museum was a nice surprise. The menu is limited but the items that our group had were quite good. The Chilled Rice Noodles were very tasty. Another person in the group ordered the Mediterranean Bowl and enjoyed it. The outdoor seating area is quite nice especially on a nice weather day. The Cafe provided a nice stop as we explored the art museum.

You really can't go wrong with a visit to the Joslyn museum. Free admission, extended hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays, more than enough art and space to explore...it's an amazing space to have access to! I had not been before the renovations, but this museum is HUGE. I could easily spend an entire day here; there is so much to see, from modern to ancient art and relics. Upon entering, you are prompted to check in at the front desk, which is manned with very kind and helpful staff. I mostly wandered during both of my visits, but there are opportunities for more guided experiences too. There is a very nice gift shop and cafe that I've yet to try, but the availability of food during a long museum day is definitely convenient. I also appreciated the ample and free parking. Beyond the art itself, which is obviously impressive, the museum building is beautiful. I will be back many times!

Loved the renovations the place is so nice inside and the art and the small restaurant inside is so good. Eclectic food lots of specials it's nice to eat and then go explore. The programs they have a wonderful and the garden is so pretty!

Hard to say anything bad about experiencing hours of culture and amazement for free. Great old building, nice people, laid out well. Free parking easily available, open late a couple nights a week. Not a lot of big name pieces, but they have some pretty interesting stuff. I was able to spend 2-3 hours here and really enjoyed myself.

I came to the art gallery with my group of DD clients. I was the minority as a white woman. We were racially profiled and followed around the entire museum. Incredibly disappointed in the behavior by the staff.

What a wonderful free asset to the community to foster art and creativity. General admission is always free and then there is an additional paid rotating exhibition. They are adding a new addition to the museum soon and will be closed for a few years. Check it out before then!

Phenomenal visit, and a first timer. So happy to be able to contribute to such a beautiful and informative Museum. The Deco exhibit is excellent, my favorite style. Everyone was very friendly and informative. This is a must for anyone living or visiting Omaha.

Very accessible. Free parking and no entrance fee. The Art Deco atrium, Storz Fountain Court, is a sight to behold. My visit was short and sweet. My main goal was to visit the Contemporary section. It is not a huge collection so I would say an average visitor would take 30-60 minutes.

FANTASTIC, FREE ART MUSEUM. This is a beautiful Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. Due to Covid, reservations need to be made online, which was very easy. The original museum was built in 1931, thanks to Mrs. Sarah Joslyn in honor of her husband, George Joslyn. Subsequent additions were made over time, resulting in a large, modern Art Museum. We spent 2.5 hours at the Museum, and enjoyed every minute. The Museum is beautiful, clean and has a lot of staff available to assist visitors. Another vital staff function is to monitor for visitor compliance with wearing masks for Covid- this is strictly enforced. The Museum Cafe and Gift Store are currently closed due to Covid. WELL WORTH A VISIT!
