The Museum of Nebraska Art is a must see . . .
A trip through Nebraska, a journey through time, no reservations or passports required. Enjoy a close encounter with art that reflects and enhances the Nebraska experience. See the work of artist-explorers like George Catlin; early Nebraskans Robert Henri and J. Laurie Wallace; modern era artists Thomas Hart Benton and Wright Morris, and significant artists of today. MONA also displays a collection of works by John James Audubon focusing on indigenous Nebraska wildlife. The permanent collection contains over 5,000 works by artists of regional, national, and international importance. MONA is housed in a 1911 Renaissance revival building listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Explore all eleven galleries and you’ll see Nebraska in a whole new way! Visitors can also relax and stroll outside through the Cliff Hillegass Sculpture Garden, browse in the MONA Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts, and visit our Hitchcock Education Gallery.
