This place is mind blowing.Clean bathrooms,Wheelchair access,Gentle stairs,Gift shop.Expect to spend at least an hour to read and see everything.We showed up mid-roadtrip not knowing if this would be a roadside attraction or a genuine full scale museum. It turned out to be the most incredible experience. Seeing pieces of true Americana and the sense of community and culture that surround a simple blanket is amazing. The art form that quilting is, and has become We're truly magnificent. The countless hours and energy that go into some of the pieces on display were incredible.

As full time travelers, we have been to many museums across the western US and really enjoyed this one - do your homework before going as you will not see 3,500 quilts but a small and awesome collection. Will take two hours if you read all the placards and examine the displays. Nice building and excellent presentation. If you appreciate art, this is a must stop.

I love textile art and was looking forward to seeing the Quilt Museum's collection. They have some fabulous pieces of art - I was especially impressed with their newest exhibit, "Under the Tuscan Sun: The Works of Annamaria Brenti."I wish they had more different types of quilts on display - there were only six exhibits. Each was interesting, but I felt like stories of American traditional piecing were missing.

I love being a tourist and discovering hidden gems - especially museums, hidden within a community. The Quilt Museum did not disappoint. Let’s face it: A Quilt Museum? Who’da thunk it!? But it was wonderful. To begin with the museum itself was not some abandoned storage unit - but rather a grand and spacious building. The artifacts: Americana and family traditions - some of them 140+ years old framed and hung with care and pride. A peak into a life we can hardly fathom any longer. The styles were varied from snapshot patterns to bold brilliant patterns. A wonderful surprise and when I find myself in Nebraska again - I’ll be making the drive back to revisit the memories and artwork displayed.

Very nice, informative museum representing many countries. A diversity of themed displays. Reasonable ticket prices, lovely clean facilities, benches in many of the galleries, and the gift area was delightful. Don't miss a chance to see it if you are in Lincoln or visitin.

Unique place! Because of the sensitive nature of preserving the quilts, they said their exhibition changes every 8 months or so (sorry if I got the exact number wrong, but it’s often), so I look forward to going back someday and seeing something new!

I absolutely loved this museum and can relate since I am a quilter. Lots of quilts I saw inspired me to go home and try new methods!

Lincoln is lucky to have a museum of this quality right in our backyard. There will come a day when this type of art is valued just as highly as European painters. It is absolutely stunning to see the skill and artistry that goes into these pieces.

Simply spectacular. Throughout the main stage exhibit (collection) comprised of mostly unnamed quilters, I was reminded of how the fabric arts are symbolic of womanhood, domesticity, and the embodiment of tradition and even storytelling that is inherently feminine. What a patient and protean art.It’s a great museum if you want an exhibit that’s small and not too overwhelming. Wished there were prints (posters) available of certain quilts but that’s ok. Would recommend if you like to be surrounded by nerdy women.

It was truly a magnificent day. We walked around and looked at some of the quilts on our own but took the 11:00 tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and I learned a whole lot about the quilts on display. I learned how they refold them every two years, how they take them out of circulation after 10 years so that they don't fade, I learned that you can't touch them and you can't take flash photography. They are very careful that the quilts don't fade..... I learned that quilts that have been out on display are putting isolation so no bugs come into the museum. That was extremely interesting...Our tour guide was very kind, she moved rapidly so that we saw a fair amount of the quilts. I was very happy for the tour. The quilts are just beautiful and so many of them. I couldn't believe the price that one of them sold for was over $260,000... It was a pre-civil war quilt.... truly magnificent. The red and white quilts in the room are just awesome, breathtaking, it is a really terrific sight....I recommend this museum, it is just delightful. And, I know so much more now than I did before I went in there. It is in fact part of the University of Nebraska... And the building itself is breathtaking, and the stairs are very manageable although they have an elevator also...A lovely way to spend the day...Well worth the drive that we had from Omaha.

Absolutely incredible! Loved every minute our bus tour of 40 women got to spend here! Will definitely be making a return trip as soon as possible! Dean helped our group with a private tour after hours including a catered meal! Everything was so amazing!

Had not been in person for 2 years since Covid. I was blown away by the beautiful and innovative quilts on display. My senses were overjoyed!!Purchased a $60 yearly membership. Free on First Fridays. If you have no membership it costs $8.00 a day.
