Disclaimer: I am not now nor have I ever been a cowboy. With that said I would recommend this museum to open-minded non-cowboys. The building has great architecture and a solid art collection upstairs. Downside: the premise and promise of this museum is "the development of the West" but that is not the case. At all. Which is too bad because I would pay for something like that. Instead, it's a gallery of excellent paintings.

We weren't planning to go there, then stumbled across it and thought it would be nice to go inside. And it really was nice. The staff was nice&helpful. Though the setup of the exhibition was a little but confusing to get through, it was nice. The building itself was really pretty, and the movie they showed in the museum was really inspiring and well produced.

Such a great unique little museum! I loved their exhibit on old western movies. There was so much! They have a lot of cool original old movie posters.

Excellent museum detailing Lewis and Clark's explorations of the American West through maps, sculptures, and the entire set of paintings by Charles Fritz of their expedition. Beautiful bronze statues of Native Americans, especially chiefs. A fine collection of western landscapes. Great cowboy art and a fantastic collection of spurs, chaps, and saddles. Sometimes they have movies and lectures. And the building is stunning and beautifully lit.

It was OK. Most of the art was very similar to all the rest in the place. Not a lot of variety. The Booth Musum in Cartersville, HE is much nicer in my opinion.
