National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States

The National Museum of Wildlife Art is a large building positioned on a hillside with views overlooking a wildlife refuge and features extensive windows on multiple sides. The structure uses light-colored stone for its exterior and was designed so that visitors experience the natural landscape as part of the museum visit.

The institution started as a smaller project focused on wildlife art in the late 1980s and later relocated to a much larger building in the mid-1990s. This move allowed the collection to expand significantly and become a major attraction in the region.

The collection displays works by artists who have long explored humanity's relationship with wildlife through different styles and perspectives. These pieces throughout the museum reflect how people living near natural areas see and interpret the animals around them.

The museum sits on a hilltop with parking near the entrance and is accessible for visitors with varying mobility needs. Inside you can move at your own pace through the galleries, and there is also outdoor space to explore on the grounds.

The museum connects indoor galleries to the surrounding landscape through an outdoor path where sculptures are placed among trees and trails. This path also links the grounds to local biking routes and allows visitors to watch wildlife in their natural setting.
