Ancient Coins at Joslyn Art Museum - Omaha NE

[PtolemAE]

Joslyn Art Museum (www.joslyn.org) in Omaha, NE, has a small (apparently permanent) exhibit of nice quality ancient Greek coins that accompanies other antiquities of the Greek world as well as at least one ancient Egyptian sculpture.  If in Omaha it's worth a trip in any case as their collections include works of many American artists including Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton and a nice collection of renaissance to modern European painters and sculptors such as Rembrandt, Monet, Renoir, and Rodin.  It's in a beautiful building, too.  Here are four pics of the ancient coins and an additional post has five more pics of ancient Greek ceramics and the Egyptian statue.
