Booth Western Art Museum, Art museum in Cartersville, US

The Booth Western Art Museum is a 120,000-square-foot museum in Cartersville, Georgia, dedicated to the Western United States. Its galleries hold contemporary art, illustration, movie posters, Civil War art, Indigenous art and depictions, presidential portraits and letters, and authentic stagecoaches, plus an outdoor sculpture garden and a hands-on children's gallery modeled on a working ranch.

The Booth Western Art Museum opened in August 2003 with 80,000 square feet of galleries. A 40,000-square-foot expansion completed in October 2009 doubled the exhibition space to 120,000 square feet, making it the second largest art museum in Georgia and giving it the largest permanent exhibition space for Western art in the country. It became a Smithsonian Institution Affiliate in August 2006 and joined the Museums West Consortium in January 2008.

The museum's holdings include presidential portraits and letters, shown alongside Civil War art and depictions of Indigenous peoples. Stagecoaches are displayed as well, and a hands-on gallery for children is modelled on a working ranch. The Booth is one of only two Western art museums in the Southeastern United States, the other being the James Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The museum is open most days of the week, typically in the morning through early evening, with slightly shorter hours on Sundays. Plan to spend a few hours exploring all the galleries and sections.

The Sagebrush Ranch section allows children to experience Western heritage through hands-on activities and learning. This area was designed specifically for young visitors to engage with history in a direct way.
