Museum of Nebraska Art The Museum of Nebraska Art houses the state's only collection of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints created solely by Nebraskans or artists concerned with Nebraska as the subject.

Major strengths are in the works of George Carlin, Robert Henri, and Thomas Hart Benton.
