Interesting exhibits and educational. Audio available but not really necessary. Clean, cool and quite. A nice break.

Wow, this museum is awesome from the sculpture walk and fish walk outside to the visiting exhibits by George Caitlin, Audobons, National Geographic and Andy Warhol. SUPERB children's area....our younger teen spent over 30 minutes drawing and sculpting in here! Spectacular view of the Elk Preserve...through their telescope. And, the building is a great architectural design.

My husband and I enjoyed the beautiful sculptures outside the museum. A pleasant walk around the facility. The indoor displays were presented well, and included an audio description of the pieces. Very worthwhile.

The museum features world-class artists in its collection and special exhibits. It seems to me that because nearby Jackson is a well-off community, they are well-funded and show a lot of acquisitions in the form of large bronzes of animals as are dealt in Santa Fe.

Excellent exhibits both inside and out. Breathtaking views, artwork, sculpture and museum architecture. You will think…what a place to have a grand family reunion, fundraiser or wedding! Simply stunning.

With only 30 minutes left in the day, we scurried through this wonderful museum that educated me on the local and national wildlife. Statues were unbelievable and the special exhibits very interesting.

This beautiful art museum blends into the landscape of Jackson Hole and provides the visitor with examples of the most beautiful western art, both inside and outside. A definite must see while visiting the Tetons.

In my experience, I was confused by their backpack rule. At this museum, you either cannot have a backpack or if you do, you have to carry it on your front.

It was a beautiful collection, arranged well, with a lot of places to just sit and admire the paintings. The guided tour with 'wand' was free and offered a wealth of information about the artists and paintings.
