University of Nebraska Lincoln

The art at the Sheldon Museum of Art is not only contained in the beautiful Philip Johnson building. In fact, one of the wonderful features of the Sheldon Museum is the sculpture garden. Across the campus you will find amazing pieces of sculpture and public works. I thoroughly enjoyed my walk across the beautiful campus to find all the artwork I have attached to this post!

The permanent collection exhibition at the Sheldon Museum of Art, located on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was a highlight of my recent trip to the region. The artists within their permanent collection exhibition are varied and show the range and breadth of their collecting practices over the last 125 years of existence Sheldon Art Association.
