Do galaxies have nebulae

Many do, certainly. However, the very oldest galaxies have used up most of their starforming material by now. Spiral galaxies such as our own have lots and lots of nebulae. Often galactic rotation can start off bouts of star formation from the nebulae (both bright and dark) as they come under the gravitational influence of new stars in their neighbourhood.

Are nebulas in elliptical galaxies?

Because of their age, elliptical galaxies are believed to have older stars and less gas and dust in their insterstellar medium than other types of galaxies, and thus their nebulae are less common. However, nebulae are presumed to exist in almost all galaxies; and some recent observations hint that the central black holes of elliptical galaxies may tend to preserve interstellar gas by preventing it from cooling enough for star formation.
