If you’re a fan of Southwestern, Native American, or anything Cowboy related you have to check this museum out. I was in town visiting family from Los Angeles and was pleased to find a large and informative museum out of the big city. They have tons of exhibits divided into 2 floors and different sections. Currently there is an extensive exhibit on the photography of Edward Curtis. He documented Native American and Western life and on display are some truly great images of a time that will never come back around again. The images saved that part of history in a way which is great to see. They also have a lot of western themed art on display as well as all sorts of spurs, lassos, saddles, chaps, and all sorts of cowboy gear from Texas style to California style, which I knew nothing about coming in so it was nice to walk away with a lot of information about something I thought was just standard. Overall it’s a great museum with a lot of great content. I spent about 90 minutes but could have stayed longer. Parking is also really easy in the area and free, which is nice change for me. I would recommend and will be back again sometime in the future.
Amazing museum for western history fans. Focusing on Native people and cowboys. A lot of beautiful American Indian art and educational pieces. Very Interesting cowboy displays. A lot of fantastic sculptures. Just a little bit of everything. And very reasonable entry fee. I could go on and on. We found this by "mistake' and it was a highlight of our trip even though we were there for an Eagles victory over the Cardinals . This is a must see. Get ready for a picture bombardment. I couldn't take enough!
This museum has a treasure of art from the American West, Canada and Mexico. There's more than we could see in two hours and look forward to returning. Lots of oil on canvas paintings, saddles, western guns and belts. pottery and much more . A featured exhibit on our visit was Edward S. Curtis and there was much to read and discover from his work. The building itself is fascinating for build and design both inside and exterior including a weeping wall that collects rainwater from the roof.
Very nice museum celebrating western culture and native Americans. The kids really enjoyed the scavenger hunt they participated in while they were here. Very clean facility and very friendly staff. We highly recommend museum to anyone interested in the history of the old west, particularly if you like bronze sculptures.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
Western art is not the highest on my list of things to see, but I am kicking myself for not discovering this museum until now. I have a whole new appreciation for the genre. The exhibitions are fantastic. Looking forward to future visits.
The museum is amazing!!! They give everyone a sheriff's badge sticker to wear for your visit. Everyone was fantastic and multiple currators stopped to tell people interesting facts and stories! The pictures and pottery on display were awesome to see. The history is fantastic and they have an additional art gallery on the second floor!
Amazing museum and very friendly staff! Thank you again Gail, our tour guide, for such a nice tour! We learned so much from our visit - would definitely come again if I'm ever back in the area.
Very cool place. Awesome exhibits with great information about native history and frontier interaction and expansion. 14 exhibits in total and each one fascinating. Two stories to explore. Lots of bronze statues, historical artifacts, paintings, etc. a great authentic lens into how the past looked. The building itself is very nice. Cool architecture and design. A clean and welcoming place.
Great western and native Indian history and display . Well organized , many beautiful art objects by Nempeyo from the Hopi, John Coleman native Indian sculpture collection. Currently the exhibit of Light and legacy: Art and techniques of Edward S.Curtis - the famous Native American photographer.Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$16–20
One of the finest museums on western art I have been to. As a professional tour guide I have been to most of the western art and/or history museums west of the Mississippi. The building and it's grounds are well done. The docent led tour was very informative...I will be going back soon?Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
