The Autry
brings together the threads of different cultures and customs that have
contributed to the rich tapestry that is the West today. This history
can be seen in the details of a rare photograph and in the ornate silk
patterns of an American Indian wedding dress.

The Autry Museum of Western Heritage ("The
Autry") is a world-class center devoted to preserving and interpreting
the rich history and traditions of the American West. With one of the most
comprehensive collections of Western history and art, its seven permanent
galleries and special exhibitions offer material gathered from the many
cultures and events that have shaped the legacy of this vast region.
[Visit the Official Homepage]
It lies in the craftsmanship of the tools and belongings that
played such vital roles in everyday life.
The galleries also present the story of the West by contrasting the
historical with the mythological. Art, film, and advertising have shaped
perceptions of the region, and The
Autry explores contemporary culture, as well as historical realities.
Whether it is the art of Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Remington, or N.C.
Wyeth; the tools, clothing, and firearms of people who inhabited the West;
or the costumes, scripts, and props of Western film and television, The
Autry offers an enjoyable and engaging opportunity to discover the
legacy of the West.
