Beautiful building and wonderful art. I did not have enough time to really enjoy it as it deserves. The sculptures were fantastic. When we were there National Geographic had a traveling photo exhibit really moving.

The building is impressive from the road but even more so when you get to the entrance and go inside. You could spend hours here. Great view of the Elk Refuge across the road, the have a telescope. Do take the time to visit.

Many exhibits of the surrounding location. Great place to learn about local animals and birds. After your visit here, go out and see nature at its best.

The National Museum of Wildlife Art is unusual as the whole museum is presented around the theme of wildlife art. Great paintings and sculpture is a very naturalistic environment. The café is superb as well.

My favorite exhibit was the National Geographic photography. I also enjoyed seeing all of the scuptures, inside and outside of the building. The view from the museum is fantastic, and I especially liked the fact that they had a spotting scope set up in the Members room for viewing the wildlife on the Elk Reserve.

A beautiful museum if you have a couple of hours to spare. We went on a rainy day so it worked out good. Some beautiful things to see glad we went.
