Omaha's art museum sits in a pink Georgia marble Art Deco building completed in 1931, one of the most striking buildings in the city. The permanent collection is strongest in 19th-century American art, European Old Masters, and Native American material from the Upper Missouri — the Bodmer watercolors are exceptional. The modern and contemporary galleries occupy a 2004 expansion by Sir Norman Foster.
General admission is free on Saturdays. The museum café is a pleasant lunch stop if you're spending time in the Midtown neighbourhood.
