O-town is a great place to be a tourist. Oh, I know the Omaha jokes- I just watched Up In The Air last night...
But honest, it's a great place to live, and I think that it's a great place to visit, also.
(although I do confess, sunny spring, summer and fall are better than winter... I'm just saying...)
First installment of Where to Go in O...We have had a membership and explored every nook and cranny of the place. They have a terrific permanent collection, including fantastic western art. The two amazing Chihuly hanging glass sculptures look different every time the light changes. The new outdoor sculpture garden is a fun place to wander, and free! Treats in the gift shop tempt me every time.
But, even though it's an art museum, it's a great place for families! The education department checks out Family Fun Art Packs, backpacks full of interactive activities to help kids to explore the museum. The Joslyn hosts Theo's Roost, a fun website full of artsy ideas for kids.
And for you Oma-homers, the Joslyn is free on Saturday mornings from 10am until noon. Bonus!
Can't miss on this first stop on the Where to Go in O tour.
Others are writing about their hometowns, too- maybe some ideas for your next road trip?

That Dale Chihuly really gets around! I first saw one of his sculptures at this little obscure art museum in Colorado Springs. I was super surprised to come to St. Louis and see he was a much bigger deal. *grin*
