Autry Museum of the American West

Spread across two floors, the galleries move between California history, art, and natural history. Exhibits set cowboy movie myth alongside historical reality, addressing the cultural destruction tied to the development of the West through permanent and temporary displays. The collection reaches from Indigenous heritage to modern Los Angeles, gathering paintings, weavings, carriages, a slop wagon, and a fire engine. Throughout, there is a balance of interactivity for children and in-depth information for adults, accompanied by a reading library and a small garden with a waterfall.
