What's On
Wildlife encounters aren't just for the national parks. At the National Museum of Wildlife Art you'll stand face to face with lifesize sculptures on our outdoor trail, take in vistas of the National Elk Refuge, and experience wildlife of the world through art of all mediums in our curated collection and exhibits.
Staff Picks
Curating this exhibit has been an exercise in collaboration, which is one of our core values at the Museum. We began by asking each staff member to make a short list of some of their favorite works in the collection.
Two of a Kind?
This exhibition is an exercise in comparison. It invites visitors to consider pairs of artworks, drawn primarily from the Museum’s permanent collection, and contemplate the question posed by its title: are these artworks truly Two of a Kind?
Tiffany Deater: What Lives Underneath
Through her video work, Tiffany Deater aims to connect the viewer with other forms of life, sometimes by journeying through their perspectives to help us reimagine our relationship with animals, the environment, and each other, and decentering the human perspective.
