Nicolaysen Art Museum & Discovery Center

The Permanent Collections are estimated to contain approximately 6,265 objects, including paintings, sculptures, textiles, drawings, photographs, prints and other works on paper. The Nicolaysen Art Museum & Discovery Center’s history begins in 1967, when Casper’s Mary Durham along with a group of friends hosted the first art show in a little white house that still stands at the corner of “A” and Park streets. We invite you to explore and experience contemporary art on a personal level through our innovative exhibitions, educational programs and community activities. All our programs are designed to stimulate, encourage and advance self-expression and knowledge of the arts.
