C. M. Russell Museum Complex

The C. M. Russell Museum Complex is an art museum in Great Falls housing works by Western artists across multiple galleries. The collections display paintings, sculptures, and historical objects that document life and landscapes of the American West.

The museum was established in 1953 following a major gift of artworks to the community. The complex later received recognition as a National Historic Landmark for its cultural importance.

The collection features works by Charles Marion Russell depicting Native American communities, cowboys, and landscapes of Montana. Visitors can observe how he captured the people and wildlife of the American West through his artistic vision.

The museum is located in Great Falls with parking available on site for visitors. Plan to spend several hours exploring the galleries and the buildings to see the full collection.

The complex preserves Russell's original house and log cabin studio on the grounds. This studio shows where the artist actually worked and created his notable works.
