Great museum to spend a day with family. Spectacular architecture. Marvelous collection of art from different times and regions. Not too big, not too small. Perfect to spend a day to appreciate the collection. Museum also offers place where children can draw, craft, and express their imagination through interactive stations.
This is an awesome place and a real gem in the city of Omaha. Not many cities of similar size can claim to have a venue of such nice spaces and pieces of art.
Many of the galleries are situated connecting to the main courtyard. In the middlle of the courtyard you'll find a beautifully tiled fountain and greenery. This means you can hear running water from most places in the main gallery, a great little design feature.
They don't have a ton of stuff but what they do have is well curated and we'll presented. Among the highlights are paintings from Monet, ancient Greek vases, some excellent Asian statuary and a large wooden screen that's been intricately carved and lacquered. The American galleries are excellent as well. I also don't want to leave out the early American Western stuff, including Navajo beadworks.
The galleries themselves are neat spaces featuring solid colors with a couple feet of marble at the base, different in every room.
This is truly a gem... The museum itself is a work of art: Attractive, unique in style, and set in a peaceful lovely and inviting garden of sculpture and flora, like a diamond high up along Dodge street. You feel drawn in to see more. And you find yourself welcomed upon entry. There is plenty to see but not to the point of overload. Very enjoyable and eye- opening!
Beautiful. Small. Free. Varied. Quiet. Friendly.
Impressive building, not really big. Architecture 👍🏻. Art nice, some of it very good. Not a lot. The expo on hunting & fishing is quite traditional. The modern and American-Indian art is really good and interesting. As is the sculpture garden.
The place was extremely quiet, Sunday noon. Nice. Friendly staff. No access fee.
European art not available. Bit of a downer.
This museum is fantastic! The art is well organized and documented, the building itself is gorgeous, and admission is free. The quality of the pieces will stun you. This is perhaps my favorite stop in Omaha, highly recommended.
A beautiful, impressive, and quality art museum. Fantastic permanent collection displayed in a monument to art-deco architecture.
It's hard to beat the free admission to a most impressive high art collection. The building itself is worth the visit alone.
The staff is courteous and friendly. You can elect a move-at-your-own-pace self-guided tour. The placards provide good information on each piece to help you get the most or of your visit.
Non-flash, non-professional photography is allowed, so bring your phone and snap away.
I stopped in on a Friday afternoon. Free admission. The staff was very nice & asked if I had visited before which I told him I did not. He then explained everything on the map & really made me feel welcomed. The exhibits were great. I am so happy I had the time to visit while passing through Omaha.
I really enjoyed my time at this museum. I like how a lot of that artwork had written descriptions. The art works section, which I believe is designed for children, was very great as well. Very interactive.
Was a fun museum. I loved the blown glass and the Indian beaded art! Glad I got to see it before they close for 2 years.
The art was beautiful and for a free museum I can't see where anyone would complain. There are areas that you pay if you'd like to enter but we didn't go through those so I guess that's something to consider for others.
