I took an adventure to the Durham Museum. Housed inside the beautiful Omaha Union Station, we had a chance to enhance our Christmas fix once we laid eyes on the beautiful, 40-foot decorated Christmas tree in the main hall of the building. It was dedicated by Steve Croy in memory of his father who planted it in 1985.
I was swept away by the beauty of the train station and its décor. After snapping a few pictures, I made my way to the lower level. White Christmas-The Exhibition, was a treat for the eyes.
My journey began at the display that featured the coat, whistle and viewfinder used by Robert Alton, who was the choreographer and dance director for the movie. Edith Head, designed the clothing. The famous “blue dresses” seen in the musical number, Sisters, is displayed along with one of the blue ostrich fans that Danny Kaye used with Bing Crosby in their mock up of the above song later in the film.
Costumes used during the dance scene, Mandy, are still just as stunning as they appeared in the movie. Later, at the display of the cast party, the dress worn by actress, Mary Wickes, who played the housekeeper at the almost defunct inn, was a St. Louis, Missouri native. She had a long-acting career and died in 1995 after her vocal work on the Disney film, Hunchback of Notre Dame.
While viewing the clothing worn by both the women and men from various scenes that I could quote from the movie, it felt as though I were on the actual set. At the end of the exhibit, the original red dresses worn during the final musical number in the film, were never located by Paramount. The ones that were displayed during in the exhibit were replicas.
Anyone in the Omaha, NE area, that loves the movie White Christmas as much as we do, should take a moment out of your busy, crazy, whirlwind day, and get lost in this exhibition that will make you smile.

Great trip. We arrived at approximately 10:30 am and made our way towards the entrance of the museum. The museum was relatively large and was the site of the former union train station. We bought our admission tickets and started to explore the museum. The ground floor contained restrooms, and several food options. The main exhibits were mostly located on the underground level. There were many artifacts out for display, along with informational plaques that detailed what we were seeing in front of us. The museum covered the history of Omaha and how the city was founded. The museum also talked about many things that were unique to Omaha, such as the train station and the people that helped shape it. There were many train cars out for display, and we were able to walk through several of them, in order to get a glimpse of the past. We also viewed a short 15 minute documentary about the history of Omaha and how the town was formed.
Tip: I recommend spending 3 hours here if you truly want to see everything.

Durham Museum is a beautifully renovated Union Station railroad facility in downtown Omaha. The renovation itself is stunning, and the historical installations (i.e. the "museum" part) was all very well done; all were interesting and packed with information and descriptions. The maintenance of the displays was perhaps the best I've ever seen at almost any kind/form of museum. You often find cobwebs, layers of dust, and deteriorating displays at many museums and public spaces. At the Durham it appeared that the entire facility had just been installed the prior day. Perhaps that was true of one or two sections, but certainly not the entire location yet the entire place was extremely well kept. Kudos to the maintenance staff here. This was a great stop to spend a couple of hours on a cool, rainy afternoon learning something about the history of the City of Omaha and the railroad and gateway to America's western frontier.

What a fantastic place to visit. My wife and I too our 3 year old granddaughter and we all truly enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and there was so much to see and do. We also ate lunch there. Very good meat ball sandwich and our granddaughter enjoyed the Mac cheese kids meal.

A great air conditioned spot to grab a quick drink and snack from the soda counter and admire the beautiful building built in the 1930s! We didn’t pay the admission to the exhibits but the lobby and quick run through the gift shop gave us all we needed to experience what an amazing building this is!

This Art Deco train museum is truly a gem! Our group loved it and you can explore at your pace and based on your interest! Our train loving family loved it! It’s beautiful and was a great way to explore during a hot summer day! Even just an hour and you can hit the highlights or stay longer and see it all!

Beautiful lobby! This museum is a mish-mash of Omaha, train and other history and culture. While the soda counter is nostalgic, I’d skip the food and dine out nearby.

Is there an area not covered by the museum in Union Station. I have a few in our group not interested in touring it but its too cold to leave them in the car... maybe an atrium to sit in or something?
Do you mean an area not covered by admission?
Can you visit the gift shop without paying the museum entrance fee?

My kids have enjoyed this museum since they were toddlers. A lot to see and experience. Real train cars to go through, and exhibits change on a regular basis. This museum has something for every age group.

There is no shuttle offered by the museum. You may be able to get shuttle service if you are staying at one of the nearby or downtown hotels. Ask at the front desk.
