Help Preserve the Spirit of the American West
Special Exhibitions
In addition to permanent exhibits exploring history, nature, and culture in its galleries, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center creates and hosts special, temporary exhibitions each year. These delve into various additional themes about the American West. Explore the below pages for a glimpse into current and upcoming exhibitions, or take a look at some from the past.
The Historical Center’s collections also travel to other venues across the country and the world, as complete exhibitions created by Center staff, or through loans of artifacts to enhance those created by the borrowing institution. Through such partnerships, the Historical Center has participated in exhibits at the Smithsonian Institution’s S. Ripley Dillon Center, the Brooklyn Museum, and other museums in New York, Tennessee, and elsewhere.
