Museums West Consortium

Museums West is a dynamic consortium of ten outstanding museums located across North America. Each of these museums houses permanent collections of historically and aesthetically important art and artifacts and produces a wide variety of Western-related educational exhibits and public programs. Collectively, the members of Museums West also share resources and organize collaborative projects to further the goals of each institution.

Powerful Images: Portrayals of Native America is a travelling exhibition developed by Museums West. The exhibition explores our understanding of North American Native peoples, from both a Native and non-Native perspective.
