Review:

The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum is located on a vantage point high up on Persimmon Hill in Oklahoma City, offering a view of the American West like no other institution in the country, including its history, culture, and art. The museum was founded in 1955 in order to collect, exhibit, and preserve a significant collection of Western artifacts and art and promote an understanding of the American West, which is such an important part of American identity.

The art collection includes works of world-known artists such as Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, and sculptor James Earle Fraser. The museum houses a replica of a turn-of-the-century cowboy town. Interactive galleries focus on the history of the American cowboy, Native American culture, rodeos, Victorian firearms, and frontier performers. Wonderfully landscaped gardens and the Children's Cowboy Corral, an interactive children's space, are also part of the museum.
