National Museum of Wildlife Art

National Museum Of Wildlife Art Of The United States (Designated By Congress) · Jackson, Wyoming

A museum of wildlife painting and sculpture set into a hillside just north of Jackson, its rough red-sandstone walls built to look like a ruin growing out of the butte. Founded in 1984 and in this building since 1994, it was designated by Congress as the National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States. The collection runs from John James Audubon and Carl Rungius to contemporary artists, and its windows look straight across the National Elk Refuge, where elk gather in winter. An outdoor sculpture trail along the hillside is free to walk. Elk Refuge sleigh rides start a few minutes away, so the two pair naturally in winter.

2820 Rungius Road, Jackson, Wyoming, 83001, United States

Open most days of the year, generally 9 or 10 AM to 5 PM; reduced days in parts of spring and autumn. The Sculpture Trail is open during daylight. Check wildlifeart.org for current hours.
