Very nice museum, the only thing that could make it better is if it was larger. My favorite part of my visit was not art related however. There was a telescope set up in one of the front gallery's to watch the Elk in the refuge. I saw 4 big bull Elk fighting, I must have spent 1/2 an hour... More

Catch the north loop shuttle at the Visitors' Center for a not to be missed experience of paintings and sculpture of wildlife. I can't say enough about this museum's collection. The building is a work of art in its own right. More

We have wanted to visit this museum for several years, and finally managed to make the visit. I would not call myself a big fan of western art. However, there is a wide variety of art, in many different styles--many interesting pieces. There is a lot to see here--wish we'd had more time! More
