The Great Plains Art Museum is a fine arts museum dedicated to the arts of the Great Plains in the United States. Established in 1981 on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the museum was founded with the Christlieb Collection of paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures and has since grown to become one of the city’s top art museums. Today, the museum's collections include works by renowned artists such as Charles M. Russell, Albert Bierstadt, Robert Fletcher Gilder, Frederic Remington, and Willian Henry Jackson as well as new acquisitions by Ray Ellis, Chuck Guildner, and Michael Forsberg. Exhibits are rotated several times per year and include artwork from the permanent collection, traveling exhibits, and guest-curated exhibitions. The Great Plains Art Museum is free and open to the public.
