NATIONAL WILDLIFE MUSEUM -JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING

National Wildlife Museum

We saw this amazing building all in stone, high on the mountain side and had to see what it was.  Beside it was a beautiful bronze display of elk crossing some rocks.  The next several photos are the most beautiful collection of bronze animals I have ever seen. Many of them were outside and a couple were in the museum.  There was more than one artist commissioned to display their bronze animals.  I couldn't wait to  show you these bronze works of art.  Enjoy.

This photo is a closeup of the stone work.  All the doors have elk horns for door pulls.

The museum was huge and had the most wonderful art and displays, but we were not allowed to photograph any art except the bronze animals.  We spent half a day there and had a wonderful lunch in the museum cafe.  There are a few more photos taken in the cafe and gift shop.  That will be another post.

Living our dream vacation and loving it!

Jeanne, it all looks just awesome. I can't even imagine what a thrill everything is. I am so glad you are both having this wonderful experience.

When you return I just might be nuts. You will be able to obtain a visitor pass to see me.
