Joslyn Art Museum presents *American Art Deco: Designing for the People, 1918–1939,* on view at the Museum June 5–September 5, 2021. From stylish decorative art objects to products of industrial design, modern American paintings to compelling photographic images, the multi-media works of art in this exhibition reflect both the glamour and optimism of the 1920s and the devastation and escapism of the 1930s.
Joslyn Art Museum is proud to announce a new publication drawn from its permanent collection—Faces from the Interior: The North American Portraits of Karl Bodmer. The first book to focus on Bodmer as a portraitist, it provides new perspectives on Euro-American encounters with nineteenth-century Indigenous communities in the American West. Read on for details and purchase the book here.
Joslyn is working to elevate and amplify perspectives that historically have been underrepresented in the galleries. With OMAHA SPEAKS, we look to broaden the conventional interpretation of objects in our permanent collection by introducing commentary from leaders in our community.
First Weekend Extended Friday Hours By popular demand, the Museum will be open from 10 am to 8 pm the first Friday of each month to allow guests to extend their visit, make Joslyn their date night destination, or drop by on their way to and from other arts and culture happenings around town.
