NHC exhibits available for loan statewide
The Nebraska Humanities Council has access to many educational exhibits available for loan statewide. Once housed by the NHC, most are now housed by other organizations. The exhibits may be borrowed for short periods at no cost except shipping.
The application form that is linked in the left-hand column of this page is only for exhibits housed at the NHC offices. For all others, contact the appropriate site.
The NHC also is looking for organizations to house the remaining exhibits stored by the NHC. Organizations interested in housing an exhibit are responsible for the display and storage of the exhibit, as well as occasional collaboration with organizations interested in borrowing the exhibit for a short time.
