About National Museum of Wildlife Art
The National Museum of Wildlife Art sits on a hill north of Jackson in a stone building that blends into the slope, overlooking the National Elk Refuge. It gathers thousands of works about wildlife, from 19th-century paintings and sculptures to contemporary pieces.
The collection includes works by American and European artists, such as Carl Rungius, Robert Bateman and Georgia O'Keeffe, arranged in rooms by theme. Outside, a roughly 1 km sculpture trail passes life-size bronze animals, like bison and bears, with the mountain range as a backdrop.
The museum is a good option for rainy or cold days and pairs well with a visit to the refuge just below.
