Permanent Exhibition: Launched in July 2012 by the Charlie Russell Riders organization, the museum’s sculpture garden contains six major bronzes representing western wildlife. The works chosen by the organization were sculpted by established artists, most of whom are from or reside in Montana. Working within a long tradition of animal artists, each has dedicated his career to capturing the visual essence and spirit of the wildlife that inhabit Russell’s West. The Sculpture Garden is always free and open to the public.
