Explore the Collection

The National Museum of Wildlife Art Collection features more than 550 artists and over 5,000 cataloged items of animal art. Dating from 2500 B.C.E. to the present, the collection chronicles much of the history of animal art, focusing primarily on European and American painting and sculpture.

As the Museum moves into 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.
