The National Museum of Wildlife Art features a collection of over 2,000 pieces of art portraying wildlife. Dating from 2000 b.c. to the present, the collection chronicles much of the history of wildlife in art, focusing primarily on European and American painting and sculpture. Our collection of American art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is particularly strong, recording European exploration of the American West. Many of these works predate photography, making them vital representations of the frontier era in the history of the United States.<br><br>
The collection represents artists from a wide variety of genres, including explorer art, sporting art, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Modernism.<br><br>
As the museum moves towards its third decade, the scope of the collection is broadening to include wildlife art from around the world. Recent acquisitions include works from Africa and New Zealand. The Museum also includes works done in a wide variety of media, including oil, bronze, stone, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, pastel, pencil, lithography, photography, and charcoal.<br><br>
