Gene Autry would not be happy, I think. As a western movie fan, I am not. When it opened, it was a great museum. Then they merged and today, the movies are lost and it is almost all high brow culture. The exhibit in the big room was dedicated to Hopi Dolls. The movie section has been downsized and even... More

The Autry Center and Museum of Western Heritage offers a complete season of Native American plays in its cozy theatre on the grounds. My wife & I saw The Birdhouse written by a Native American woman playwright and featuring a number of Native American actors. It was an excellent experience and made us hunger for more! We plan to return... More

Visited with spouse for the first time. Upstairs galleries have cowboy and Autry exhibits, as well as a temporary Hopi Katsina exhibit that is wonderful! Downstairs galleries feature the development and settlement of California, with excellent exhibits and artifacts. Lisa See's Chinese Family exhibit with interactive rooms for kids is also fun for adults. Gold panning outside. Nice gift shop... More

On the bottom floor, the history... More

The varied displays keep you wanting to learn more after you walked away. Many childhood memories in the "Media" section for us from the '1950's' to smile about. Gene Autry... More

we would go here again when it is cooler. it is great for the whole family and very interesting. i would go again when in the area or when taking visiting relatives sightseeing.

I highly recommend this for a day trip and so much to see. It has a little bit of everything from the western days with many exhibits to view. There is also a section of Native American artifacts as well as a great art gallery to view and purchase. You can pan for gold, dress up in western garb and... More
