Madison Museum, Trailside museum in Yellowstone National Park, US.

The Madison Museum features stone walls, log columns, and shingled exterior walls that reflect the natural materials of Yellowstone National Park's landscape.

The museum, constructed in 1929 with funds from Laura Spelman Rockefeller, initially contained a ranger-naturalist wing and an exhibition space for park interpretation.

The T-shaped structure represents National Park Service Rustic architecture, designed by Herbert Maier to integrate educational facilities within natural park settings.

Located at Madison Junction, the museum provides information services and exhibits about the surrounding meadows and canyon of the Madison River.

The building underwent a transformation from a historical shrine to an information station after historians challenged the accuracy of early park creation stories.
