Dare I say, this may be the best art museum I've been to! I was not expecting much and had assumed…read morethis would be a quick in and out, but I was so wrong! This labor of love (literally a dedicated museum to her late husband, George) and clad in Georgia Pink marble, was an absolute showstopper! The museum is huge and driving in, I didn't think I would be here for HOURS. I cannot explain the grandeur of walking in, seeing the high windows, the marble - an architectural beauty. The front desk let us know where all the exhibits were but made a point to tell me about a kid's area downstairs. We figured we would stop by their first and assumed it was going to be a wood table with crayons - MAN, it was NOT. It was this bright lime green room with books, toys.... light cubes you could piece together, vases to draw on to replicate Classic Roman or Greco imagery, a stop-motion area, digital canva to draw on the wall or the floor! It was so interactive! My husband let me slink away to see the ret of the museum - the contemporary section was nice and had enough pieces that it didn't seem like as last throw away section. The rest of the exhibits were smaller, but still intentional - 20th century art, the romantism era, indigenous art, some still life, and a small area for pottery. This will always be on my must see for Omaha - oh, and its FREE!

It was built in 1931 in the Art Deco style and designed by LA architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood. The museum has lots of photographs and examples of materials used that would be a delight for all those interested in architecture. Downstairs was the train depot and where you can go inside and sit in the train cars. Most of the rooms appeared to be part of their permanent collection, but part of the downstairs area has rotating exhibits. The exhibit on display was "The Negro Motorist Green Book" which you may be familiar with if you watched the 2018 film "Green Book." I had a great time at the museum and would return, although check the calendar as I went when the NE SciFest going on and I prefer calmer museum visits. Still, definitely would recommend checking it out!

Flight simulators, a theater continuously screening space and air related films, and lots of activities for the kids plus some outside exhibits and benches for enjoying the view round out the experience. The entrance to the museum is beautifully constructed with a SR-71 Blackbird hanging from the ceiling. Many of the exhibits were very unique aircraft including a Quail decoy for the B-52 bomber, one of only 2 XF-85 Goblin parasite fighter escorts ever built, an EC-235C Looking Glass lying command center, a B-58A (one of only 6 remaining) mid range bomber which was the first bomber to break Mach II, first to have stellar-inertial nav and first to have a stainless steel honeycomb structure, and the B-36J was really unique with 6 pusher engines plus turbojets - the largest bomber ever built, plus many more items.
