They have really gone to no expense to make this museum a wonderful place to review some of our heritage and cowboy folklore. The price was so cheap to visit and well worth your time. more

My husband and I arrived too late in the afternoon to look at much, but it looked great from the parts we did see. Seemed like a huge museum with outdoor parts as well. Security was dressed in western attire. Lots of paintings, a rodeo history section, and a part with John Wayne memorabilia. We would love to go back... more

This was a great place to visit. The price wasn't too expensive and the staff was very friendly. I found I spent several hours here and it seemed to pass by in a blink. I was pleasantly surprised by the western town inside building-a great treat for adults and children. more

This museum was great. The exhibits and hands on stuff for kids was of a high standard. Volunteer guides are on hand to answer your questions which were very helpful. The restaurant food was delicious too and be prepared for the gift shop.... it is cowboytastic! Our kids gave it a thumbs up. more

My husband and I arrived here with the expectation it would interest us for 2, maybe 3 hours maximum but we were totally unprepared for this place! There is so much to see and take in. The paintings and art work in the Atherton section in particular were outstanding. Neither of us would typically spend much time in an art... more

This museum is a must-see! Apart from the hughe collection of western inspired art it is an extensive an in-depth trip into the western heritage and not least the life of the cowboys. And it's all presented in a very inspiring way that literally drags you through the exposition. Never knew there were that many kinds of hats, boots, guns... more

Truthfully, I can’t think of a reason you would go to OKC unless it’s for work or perhaps your team is playing the Oklahoma Sooners. If you ‘by chance’ the area, I recommend taking a side trip to the NCWHM. From Western/Cowboy inspired artwork to exhibits of anything and everything that is associated with the old west this museum has... more

To put it as simply as possible, this is an Outstanding Museum and a must see for anyone interested in our western heritage. The museum is divided into several galleries, which are dedicated to all aspects of the cowboy and western life. I especially enjoyed the Art of the American West, which features wonderful painting of the west and a... more

This is the best museum of it's kind. It has something for everyone. The galleries are very diversified and we all had our favorite part. The sculpture of the 'end of the trail' is amazing in person. I will go back the next time I am in OKC! more

There are so many areas in the museum with such a variety of subject matter, there is something here for everyone to experience. The art work is some of the finest I have ever seen. This is a "must see" for anyone interested in our Western heritage!!! more
