Sheldon Art GalleryLincoln, NebraskaThe Sheldon Art Gallery, located at the center of the campus of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, boasts one Norman Rockwell painting in its collection. So the Gallery is not technically a Norman Rockwell museum, though the Rockwell is certainly the highlight in the eyes of this Norman Rockwell art collector. Still, other notable and prolific artists are represented in the gallery's collection. Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Mary Cassatt and Georgia O'Keeffe are all represented with artworks. The sculpture garden is also a special treat. Sculptors represented in the sculpture garden include a veritable Who's Who. Tom Otterness, Gaston Lachaise, William Zorach, Juan Hamilton, Mark di Suvero, Richard Serra, Roxy Paine and Claes Oldenberg and Coosje van Bruggen all have work displayed.
