Omaha’s Joslyn Art Museum to close for two years for construction
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha’s premier art museum is set to close its doors later this spring and stay closed for about two years as a new multi-milliondollar pavilion is built.
The Omaha World-Herald reported that the Joslyn Art Museum in downtown Omaha will close on May 2 for construction of a $100 million pavilion, which has already begun.
The pavilion is set to open sometime in 2024 and will be named for philanthropists and longtime museum supporters Rhonda and Howard Hawks.
Howard Hawks is a founder of Omaha-based energy company Tenaska and is a former member and chairman of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.
