ABOUT THE AUTRY MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN WEST
Located in beautiful Griffith Park, the Autry features unique galleries filled with paintings, sculptures, film memorabilia, photographs, historic firearms and so much more, all related to the American West. The Autry’s more than 600,000 pieces of art and cultural objects include one of the largest and most significant collections of Native American materials in the United States.

ABOUT BLACK COWBOYS: AN AMERICAN STORY
Did you know that one of four cowboys who went on the trail was Black? From the ranches of Texas to the cities of California, Black Cowboys: An American Story offers a clearer picture of the Black West and a more diverse portrait of the American frontier. Historical and contemporary objects, photographs, and personal stories convey the work and spirit of Black cowboys and reveal how Black men and women turned their equestrian skills to popular performances in rodeo, Western film, and music. Videos created for this exhibition highlight individual Black cowfolk, past and present, who have kept these traditions alive.
