Description

http://www.joslyn.org ...When this extraordinary Art Deco building opened its doors on November 29, 1931, it was hailed not only as an important addition to the city of Omaha, but to modern American architecture as well. In 1938 it was listed among the 100 finest buildings in the United States. Construction took three years and cost almost $3 million. The three-level interior comprises some 38 marbles from around the world and includes stone from Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, and Morocco. The exterior and retaining wall alone filled 250 boxcars with George Pink (Etowah Fleuri) marble.

The building’s architects utilized Native American themes throughout the museum interior and on the east entrance columns. Moravian floor tiles used in the colorful Storz Fountain Court include symbols for literature, music, architecture, and painting.

The Walter and Suzanne Scott Pavilion, a 58,000 square-foot addition built in 1994 at a cost of $15.95 million, connects to the original Memorial building with the glorious glass ConAgra Atrium....
