“Through the Lens” at The Joslyn
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (The Joslyn is open Tue–Sun; closed Mondays)
Nebraska’s flagship art museum never charges general admission, and its summer photography show “Through the Lens” wraps up August 16 — so this is one of the last few weeks to catch it. Note the museum is closed Mondays.
Joslyn Art Museum, 2200 Dodge St., Omaha
General admission is FREE
