New to View: Showcasing Sound, Screen, and Sports

 

Now open on the 2nd Floor

The Nebraska State Historical Society’s mission is to “collect, preserve, and open to all the histories we share.” Our curators study our collections to learn which people, places, and experiences are best represented, because we want all Nebraskans to see themselves in the stories we preserve. The New to View Exhibit does just that by bringing us together through the shared experiences of pop culture and recreation.

New to View has something for everyone. From the Adventures of Kool-Aid Man to the Omaha Supernovas, come find a piece of Nebraska’s pop culture and recreation history that you enjoy.

 

Exhibit Highlights:

  • See new and never-before-displayed items from our collection.
  • Discover new pop culture and sports stories from Nebraska.
  • Learn more about people, events, and objects that have shaped Nebraska’s history.

About NSHS

The Nebraska State Historical Society was founded in 1878 by citizens who recognized Nebraska was going through great changes and they sought to record the stories of both indigenous and immigrant peoples. It was designated a state institution and began receiving funds from the legislature in 1883. Legislation in 1994 changed NSHS from a state institution to a state agency. The division is headed by Director Daryl Bohac. They are assisted by an administrative staff responsible for financial and personnel functions, museum store services, security, and facilities maintenance for NSHS.
