The Joslyn Art Museum is a fine arts museum in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. It opened in 1931 at the initiative of Sarah H. Joslyn, in memory of her husband, businessman George A. Joslyn.[1][2][3] Since its opening there have been multiple building expansions to house the museum's growing collection.[4][5][2] It is the only museum in Nebraska with a comprehensive permanent collection.[2] Some of the main works in the museum are part of the nineteenth and twentieth-century collections of American and European artists.[3][6]
