Description
What is the Autry National Center?
The Autry National Center is an intercultural history center formed from the merger of three important museums: the Southwest Museum of the American Indian, the Museum of the American West (formerly the Autry Museum of Western Heritage), and the Women of the West Museum.
The Autry National Center presents a wide variety of programs and events throughout the year for our visitors and members on diverse arts and cultures of the American West.
We chose the word Center—as opposed to Museum—for the overarching name of our institution because while we are about museums, we are also about a larger world of ideas and programs. The Autry National Center explores the distinct stories of cultures and peoples, examining how the interaction of these cultures and peoples affects the complex, evolving history of the American West.
