Samuel Bak Museum: The Learning Center

Samuel Bak Museum: The Learning Center is a new addition to Omaha’s arts and cultural landscape and located in Aksarben Village in Omaha, Nebraska. The Museum is free of charge to visit and is based within the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The Museum is a space where art becomes the preface to conversations around Human Rights, genocide, and the Holocaust. Mr. Bak survived the Holocaust and has dedicated his painting career to bearing witness to the destruction of Jewish life and culture in the mid-20th century, as well as ongoing global cycles of violence and a hope for the future. Mr. Bak’s paintings are renowned for their luminosity and his unique figurative metaphysical style. The Museum offers many free monthly lectures, programs and events for all members of the community.
