America's 15 Best Small-Town Art Museums
"On a cliff overlooking the National Elk Refuge, near the entrance to Grand Teton National Park, the National Museum of Wildlife Art has elk, bison, bald eagles, and wolves at its doorstep, and such creatures of the American West play a starring role in the collection's many 19th-century paintings. Those were the pre-photography days when explorers painted their latest discoveries to show to the folks back home. The 5,000-plus items from more than 500 artists date from 2500 B.C.E. to the present. That means you'll find the usual suspects (John James Audubon) as well as Rembrandt, Rodin, romantics, realists, impressionists, and modernists — not only from the American West, of course, but also from Africa, Europe, and Oceania." - Travel + Leisure Editors
