Joslyn Art Museum

Even when the museum is closed, I like to take the grandkids to walk, play in the water features and run.

Great place, staff is super friendly and always willing to answer all your questions. The art there is awesome, all different kinds. The Spanish colonial fountain is a must see.

It was actually very pretty and very nice The contemporary section was under construction at the time like they were adding new exhibits but it still seems pretty legitimate and definitely worth thinking about for being in the middle of Omaha.. you can probably see the whole thing in 2 hours and really have that full experience. staff got a little pushy towards the were closing in 5 minutes mark... but still awesome

Free museum with plenty to see! I love when an art museum is art itself; the history of this space is as wonderful as the artwork it houses. The exterior has a nice, public garden with some sculptures and water displays. Inside, there are contemporary photographs mixed with paintings from Impressionists to Asia and African artifacts. The museum is kept very clean and is generally quiet, so it’s easy to enjoy the details of each piece. Follow the signs and enjoy your time!

We did an amazing outdoor yoga class in the courtyard area. Thankfully I checked their website last night. Tickets to the museum itself were free - you just have to preregistration which was super simple. The pink stone (not sure what) is so beautiful and the entire campus is constructed using it. Such a great way to spend a couple of hours downtown. And honestly the high school directly East of this museum deserves some time too: it is over 150 years old and is such a beautiful example of 19th century design, construction, and building materials.
