The exhibition "Collecting Nebraska," which runs from Aug. 4 through Dec. 16, joins the photography exhibition by David Lovekin and Rick Houchin to make both floors of the museum Nebraska-related.
Over the past two centuries, artists have been inspired by the Nebraska experience and have created a visual history of the state dating as far back as 1859. Nebraska's changing landscape, from wide-open prairie to bustling cities, can be witnessed in paintings, photographs, prints, textiles and sculptures from the museum's permanent collection.
"This exhibition is a great chance to see the variety of the museum's collection and the trajectory of artmaking in Nebraska," curator Melynda Seaton said.
