The Nebraska Art Collection was begun in 1976 and the Museum
of Nebraska Art was founded in 1986 in the old Kearney Post Office, originally
built in 1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The
facility was expanded and completely remodeled in 1991-93 and reopened as
the NEW Museum of Nebraska Art in October of 1993.
The Museum of Nebraska Art is located just off Interstate
I-80 on the historic Lincoln Highway, U.S. Route 30, and the Oregon Trail
at the corner of 24th Street and Central Avenue in Kearney, Nebraska near
the entrance to the downtown Kearney Centre. The Museum of Nebraska Art
is located at 2401 Central Ave., Kearney, NE 68848. Hours are posted in
the museum's website.
