During my vacation to Jackson Hole, WY I had the chance to visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art. I am not sure what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't what I found there.
First, the museum sits on a butte overlooking the National Elk Refuge as if it is the guardian of wildlife in a surreal setting. Secondly, the collections at the museum are fabulous. My favorites were the John Clymer Collection which includes much of his studio and the Carl Rungius Collection which includes the largest collection of his work in the USA. Finally, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the large selection of fantastic watercolor paintings which most museums under present.
Overall, if you are in the area of the Grand Tetons or Yellowstone take a few extra minutes and visit this extraordinary museum located in Jackson Hole, WY. It will be well worth the trouble.
You have done a great job in the blog. Thanks for all the wonderful places you brough us to. I enjoy the National Museum of Willife Animal tremendously, I love painting wildlife and hadn't had a chance to visit there, and now, especially with my broken leg, how could I walk thru the gallery ???
Keep up with the good job. Mitzi
