The C.M. Russell Museum is one of the nation’s finest museums of American Western art and the home of the most complete collection of Russell art and memorabili­a in the world. In 1953, the C.M. Russell Museum opened in a small gallery, housing the personal Russell collection of family friend Josephine Trigg. The museum has since expanded multiple times and now occupies a full city block that includes the Russell’s home and log studio, which together were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. The permanent collection includes more than 12,000 objects from Charles M. Russell as well as the works of such well-known artists as O.C. Seltzer, Winold Reiss, J.H. Sharp, E.E. Heikka, E.I. Couse, Olaf Wieghorst, Henry Farny and Frank Tenney Johnson. In addition to the Russell House and Studio, the museum also features Charles M. Russell: The Legacy of America’s Cowboy Artist and The Bison:
