Reimagined Western Art Galleries

Opened in November 2018

In addition to the vast collection of art, Attitudes: The West in American Art explores the diverse connections to the West and features interactive experiences, including touchscreens and art-making activities that appeals to visitors of all ages. Featured artists include Georgia O’Keeffe, Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, Albert Bierstadt and many others, including works by influential artists Mian Situ and Grafton Tyler Brown.

A WHOLE NEW ATTITUDE

The Eiteljorg unveiled an exciting new experience in 2018 with fully reimagined Western art galleries showcasing the best of a world-class collection. The galleries create a stronger, more personal interactive experience and feature Attitudes: The West in American Art, an exploration of the cultural identity, diversity and artistic expression of the West. Visitors get an intimate look at iconic paintings and sculptures, as well as significant acquisitions that underscore the diversity of artists in the West.

Enlivening the galleries is a mix of high- and low-tech interactives that appeal to all ages and create engagement with the art.

See the Western Art Galleries!
