The building is beautiful! The collection was on the small side, but it was a very nice collection of art. The outdoor sculpture garden is nice. The Chihuly glass sculpture was my favorite.

Second time here and enjoyed it again. Staff is very nice and the Ed Ruscha exhibit was well worth the $10. The Permanent Chihuly glass sculpture is always a treat!
Joslyn's collection is small, but it is good and worth seeing. It has a good collection of European renaissance art, mostly Italian and Spanish artists. It has a section devoted to American artists which is good. There are some Remington sculptures in this section. At the time I went, admission to the general collection was free, and there is a $10 fee to see the special collection. There is a sculpture garden outside. It has a small collection of Greek pottery. It also has small Native American and Asian collections on the second floor.
Lovely local support of a significant collection of fine arts. The leading local families donated many of the fine artist works from around the world. Significant pieces. Well worth the visit. AND do not forget the excellent gift shop.
Came in town to do other things and went here to see the exhibits. The building is made from beautiful pink marble from the 1930's. When they added the addition in the 1990's the same quarry supplied matching stone. The place is beautiful. We ate in their restaurant which was pretty good. The art on display covered most of the periods and was a good representation of old masters. They allow you to take pictures without a flash and no pictures of the featured presentation.
I visited the Joslyn Art Museum with a friend who lives in Omaha who told me that thanks to the generosity of a donor, there is no admission charge (for now) to the museum, something that is unheard of nowadays. The collection is sizable and varied. I recommend this museum to anyone interested in art.
