Joslyn Art Museum

IMG_7617

  The Joslyn Art Museum was a gift to the people of Omaha from Sarah Joslyn in honor of her husband George who made millions in the newspaper industry and gave generously to local charities and institutions. The Art Deco building was completed in 1938.

  The museum is not large but contains a wide range of art from European Medieval paintings to American modern art. We did not expect to see so many paintings by famous artists like Rembrandt, Renoir, Monet, Wood, and Pollock in a Midwestern city museum.

  The museum is accessible. A few display cases were too high to easily view the contents from a seated position.

  The parking lot is large enough for any RV if parked lengthwise across the spaces. Museum  41.26109, -95.94561
