Durham Museum, Historical museum in downtown Omaha, United States.
The Durham Museum occupies the former Union Station building, a large structure with marble floors, towering ceilings, and Art Deco details throughout. The building from the early 1900s contains multiple exhibition galleries spread across its different levels.
Union Station opened in 1906 as a major rail hub connecting travelers and commerce across the region. The railroad ceased operations there in the 1970s, leading the city to transform the building into a museum.
The museum tells stories about how trains and commerce shaped Omaha and the surrounding region over time. Visitors can explore how daily life changed as the city grew and developed.
The museum is open for visitors during daytime hours most days of the week. A main entrance provides information services, and the galleries are arranged on different floors making navigation straightforward.
The Byron Reed Collection displays rare coins and historical documents assembled by a 19th-century private collector. This collection represents one of the museum's most valuable holdings.
