Absolutely lovely museum. Spent half a day there on Sunday on the Nebraska U campus. Nicely themed exhibition rooms that are a mix of lesser-known and well-known Ed artists. Free to enter! Touching painting and description on the attached pictures I posted.

The first time here, I brought my grandson with me. It was very nice, lots of different artists and different ways of doing things. There was a lot I liked and some I didn't understand. The same went for my grandson. They had 4 galleries open, and 2 of the galleries were pretty big with different rooms. It is free admission. There is also artwork outside of Sheldon Gallery and throughout UNL campus and east campus. I was here again today.

Great visit. A great mix of types of art and artists. A very nice reception lady who is graduating with an Art Degree. She has some great pics of her art. It should be displayed at the Sheldon Museum. Best Bathroom I have ever been in. Pics below.

Beautiful little free museum! They had a really nice selection of art on display and the staff were very friendly and attentive! Make sure to check out the sculpture garden out back as it is very interesting and full of a lot of unique art. Separate from the art, the building itself is beautiful and is a piece of art within itself!

This was a pretty great art museum, especially considering that admission is free. There wasn't a large amount of exhibits, but a few of them that some really interesting and great works of art. I especially enjoyed the surrealism works they had on display. The inside of the building is beautiful as well. It wasn't busy at all when I went on a Saturday.
