Why is “Autry” gone from Museum of the American West is Gene Autry no longer a part of the museum?
When Gene envisioned this museum, he specifically stated that he did not want this to be a museum dedicated only to him, but to be about the mythical and historical West. The Autry National Center bears his name as a public acknowledgment of his vision and Jackie Autry’s continuing support for the study of the experiences and perceptions of the diverse peoples of the American West through exhibitions, educational programs, public events, and publications.
