Did a self guided tour. Boy how this has changed for the better since I lived in Great Falls. We spent almost 3 hours here to see it all. I'd seen much of it before, but hadn't been in the home and the gallery is new. Definitely a "must-see" if you're in Great Falls.

Within a residential setting, this is a well designed museum. Russel's home and studio can be toured. What struck me was how curation could introduce an artist in such a way that you left with an appreciation of Russel's talent. I reveled in the exhibit of Russel's letters with envelopes as a unique storytelling. There were multiple rooms of painting, sculpures, and crafts. Also exhibits of current artists and Russel's contemporaries. I found the lower level bison exhibit outstanding. Wonderful giftshop. I highly recommend this museum which has heightened my understanding of the history oand talents of western art.

We took 2 of our friends here and they enjoyed it completely. Would recommend it to adults that are interested in the west.

If you are a fan of Charlie Russell's work, this museum is worth a detour! We were here several years ago an still spent half a day here. We always learn something new! Also, the museum shop is excellent!

Having been a fan of C.M. Russell it was an exceptional treat to visit his museum, his studio and home. The foundation has done an an amazing job of preserving all aspects of his creative works and home. C.M. Russell's art has stood the test of time and is as exciting to view today as it was when the works were originally done. You will also get to see some of his writings, which give you great insight into him and his love of the west.

Even if you are not a C.M. Russell fan, you will appreciate this artist's contributions to American art and his desire to hold on to the West as it was when he was young.

I had visited here 38 years ago and didn't really remember what it was like. I was disappointed that there weren't more Russell paintings. Too much space is taken up with modern or other form artists. I didn't come here to see them; I came to see more Russells. Please acquire some more.

A world-class museum. Also includes his studio and their home. Very open despite expansion construction. See his art plus are from other western artists. Large enough to accommodate large groups and not feel crowded. Some of the works in the basement floor are stunning. Do not miss them. Nice gift shop. A tremendous stop. Spend an hour or spend a day. We spent 90 minutes before lunch and 90 minutes after. Must do in Great Falls.

This is a really great Museum and a must if your a fan of Charley Russell and his art. Spent a day and 1/2 and totally enjoyed the time I spent. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Extensive art with local theme from various artists, mostly Americans. Beautiful ambience. A nice way to spend an afternoon.

I did not realize the extent of Charlie Russell's creations but I do know he certainly captured the imaginations of millions over the years. Make sure to spend time at the Russell's home and studio next door to the Gallery. I was impressed with how the studio was "preserved" for all to see. Many stories are described throughout each of the buildings. Amazing how his wife Nancy kept him on track all those years!

Very nice art museum with not just C M Russell works, but others also. Don't miss his house and studio - almost more interesting than the art.

Whether an art lover or not, you will be captivated by the life of the late 1800s and early 1900s that Russell and others captured for our enjoyment and memories. He knew the life of a cowboy and shares that visually with us. As well, the museum captures the First Peoples of that time in vivid art forms. Along with the Lewis and Clark Center, it is worth a special stop or trip in your travels.

I didn't think I was really a fan of cowboy art, but my husband wanted to go, so I agreed. It was very pleasantly surprised. Russell's art was much more interesting than I expected, and the museum does a very nice job of providing narrative and context for each piece. You could also tour the house and studio, which are located on the same property as the museum. We spent about 2.5 hours there and I never found it boring.

Good place to visit for the mature coupes. Not a lot of interest to hold kids attention. Lots of paintings, art, and interesting articles to see here. Paintings depict the early western culture and tells the story of C.M. Russell.
