Spring is a great time to check out the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Last week I spent some time there wandering through the different galleries and enjoying the beautiful views of the Elk Refuge. (There is even a large room that looks out over the refuge with a telescope to view wildlife). I would highly recommend this half-day activity to anyone who is interested in various types of art such as sculptures, painting, photography or even natural history. I particularly enjoyed the western theme as well as the architecture of the building itself.
The museum features 12 galleries with permanent and changing exhibits, library archive, a kids discovery gallery, café, and museum shop. There are also several informational videos, and tours are also offered daily and audio tours are free with admission.
Details:
The museum is open 9 -5 Monday through Saturday and 1-5pm Sundays.

The National Museum of Wildlife Art is just outside of the town of Jackson. It is appropriately located on a butte over looking the 20,000-acre Elk Refuge just 2 ½ miles north of Town Square.
