Autry Museum - Women of the West Digital Gallery Tour

In 2002 the Women of the West Museum merged with the Autry National Center creating a gathering place for programs, exhibitions, collections, research and education dedicated to diverse women's experiences in the American West. Our goal is to gain a new understanding, not simply of what women have done, but why it matters for the West, past, present, and future. Founded in 1991 in Boulder, Colorado, the Women of the West Museum was the first museum in the nation dedicated to the history of women of all cultures in the American West.
