It is truly amazing to find an attraction of this sort in Omaha. It is a very large collection of classical and modern art;some of them masterpieces. Thanks to a generous contribution from one of the Buffett children it will be free for the next three years

Me and my wife were visiting Omaha and were very impressed with the Joslyn art museum. Many works of art to be seen, we were there at 2pm, they close at 4pm so we only had 2 hours to view art exhibits. 3 hours would have been perfect. They had a very cool digital video art display in the modern... More

Some of the art museums in major cities are overwhelming in size and scope; the Joslyn is just right. It offers some excellent impressionist masterpieces and an outstanding collection of 20th century American artists, not to mention an entertaining sculpture garden all in a beautiful and well-organized facility. The striking Georgia pink marble facade makes the exterior as much of... More

Never a disappointment. I have been here numerous times and keep returning. There are some excellent traveling exhibits that come through Omaha, but the permanent exhibit is always worth the time and there are some surprising pieces for a museum in Omaha. Highly recommended. The theater is nice, too

Beautiful building with contrasting style between old and new sections. Lovely collection, great Chihuly pieces. Both home collection and visiting show were great. Nice cafe and shop too.

The museum had an exhibit on loan from the Whitney Museum. The permanent collection has a nice variety. The photography exhibit did not float our boat. The cafe has a very nice selection and definitely worth having something to eat there. We loved the sculptures on the exterior of the museum.

We were able to see the whole museum without getting exhausted. Really liked the selection of painting. Plus the cafe in the nicely lit center area had really good food!!! We had time to take a load off our feet and have a nice lunch.

We are members at the Joslyn and have gone several times to the children's art class on Fridays. The Joslyn is very kid friendly and wonderful. They always have an exhibit that is especially engaging for kids. Right now there is a wonderful Dan Yaccarino exhibit and a bunch of his books are out to read. Love it!
