The Museum of Nebraska Art presents 19th Century Artworks from the Permanent Collection, on view through March 31, 2013
The foundational artworks of MONA’s permanent collection are the paintings, drawings, prints, and artifacts created in the 19th century that tell the story of westward expansion and the quickly changing territorial and cultural tides. Works included in this era were created by Artist-Explorers − the individuals who traveled and documented the new frontier including Albert Bierstadt, Karl Bodmer, Jules Tavernier, and others, and the Plains Indians – the original inhabitants of the land.
