Sheldon Museum of Art — Attraction in Lincoln

I very much enjoyed my visit at the art gallery. It was one of the highlights of my stay in Lincoln Nebraska. There was one issue but I'll get to that in a moment.

First I want to say that they have a great and diverse selection of art. It's very interesting, but not wannabe interesting like you see in so many art galleries- you know old TVs showing static and bloody skulls. No, this art is actually interesting. Also, they pander just enough to SJWs but not enough that they ruin the whole museum.

The architecture of the building itself is a mid century modern dream!

The bad- I understand that the gallery is on a University Campus but the children that attend this university can be quite obnoxious. As part of what appeared to be an art class they had to draw pictures of the art in the museum. I guess it does make sense to lie on the floor when you are drawing but I didn't enjoy having to step over corpses. At least they were relatively quiet when they occupied the galleries- sadly I can't say the same for their behavior in the lobby which is quite cavernous and echo-ey. I went to check out the FDR exhibit on freedoms but a group of 50 students completely took over...

Excellent Museum. Well curated and focused collection. Ken was so welcoming and just a wonderful docent who discussed the exhibits with us extensively. The museum building itself is really neat architecturally. We really enjoyed our time there. The other "security" guy was a little rude and overbearing...Couldn't give me even 30 seconds to look at a painting because they had just closed (Not exaggerating I promise). Please let him know that when people take the time in their travels to come to your museum from out of town and donate admission...I think it's ok to behave friendly and give them an extra 60 seconds beyond closing time. In fact everything and everyone else was great so maybe that guy just needs a little...

Went to a First Friday event at the Sheldon Museum. The building is beautiful & don't forget to take a walk around the outside to see some of the sculptures. The staff were enthusiastic plus they had a nice little buffet of snacks & drinks. Also liked how they had activities for children. It's a quick trip through this museum but fun for a family as well as a solo visit if you're in downtown Lincoln or on campus. Also liked the different types of art work that were displayed. The permanent as well as the feature exhibit were...
