AUTRY NATIONAL CENTER

The Museum of the American West, formerly the Autry Museum of Western Heritage is where the American West comes to life. The museum is part of the Autry National Center and offers you and your family a unique opportunity to explore exciting and inspiring stories of the people, cultures, and events that have shaped the legacy of this vital region. Relive the western myths of radio, movies and television. View the west through the eyes of Remington, Russell and other great artists. Dine at the Golden Spur Cafe for breakfast or lunch. The West is Billy the Kid, buffalo stampedes, snakeskin boots, cavalry charges, Colt firearms, "wanted" posters, the Oklahoma land rush, wagon trains, "wild west shows", western movies and more. There is something for everyone at the museum: Whether discovering the early explorers and settlers or seeing firsthand how different cultures lived and thrived together, the importance of family and community--and how it relates to our lives today--is emphasized in an atmosphere of fun and learning.
