Description

The Autry National Center is a multicultural history center that has emerged from the intersection of three important museum organizations: Southwest Museum of the American Indian , Museum of the American West, and Women of the West Museum.

While each institution maintains its individual identity, the convergence of the resources and collections of the three entities creates a whole that is different, and provides the opportunity to define the contemporary relevance of history centers. By coming to terms with the complexities of the past, we begin to understand the complexities of the present and the possibilities of the future.
