National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum; Founded 1955 · Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Oklahoma City's museum of the American West, founded in 1955 and holding one of the largest collections of Western and Native American art and artefacts in the country. The entrance hall is dominated by James Earle Fraser's 18-foot plaster sculpture The End of the Trail, a slumped rider on an exhausted horse that became one of the most reproduced images of the West. Beyond it are galleries of Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington paintings, Native American clothing and beadwork, firearms, saddles, rodeo history and the Hall of Great Western Performers, with costumes and props from Western films. Prosperity Junction is a full-size recreated cattle-town street at dusk, with a saloon, church, bank and livery you can walk into. Outside are sculpture gardens and a children's discovery area. The American Rodeo Gallery is closed for renovation until autumn 2026.
