Sid Richardson Museum of Western Art

Immortalizing the American West

Description

In a place where the real west is immortalized through the works of some of the most prominent artists featuring western art such as Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, The Sid Richardson Museum is a permanent exhibit that explores the time period of the Wild West. Focusing on active depictions of the West as opposed to landscapes, Richardson collected a vast array of paintings to try and capture an authentic representation of the expansion and growth of the American West. The museum is located in a 1895 replica building in Sundance Square giving visitors a feeling of historic Texas. The museum helps immortalize Richardson's dream by providing a cultural center for not only the people of Texas but others from around the country.
