What is the function of the Autry National Center?
The Autry National Center will draw on the resources of both the Southwest Museum and Museum of the American West (formerly the Autry Museum of Western Heritage) to preserve and expand their unparalleled collections, advancing public knowledge about the history of the peoples and cultures of the American West. Through high-profile traveling exhibitions, public programs, publications, new scholarship, and outreach efforts, the Center will be able to engage increased audiences at the local, national, and international levels.
