C.N. Gorman Museum

Prestigious Museum of Native American Art

Description

One of the foremost museums of Native American and Indigenous art in the country, the C.N. Gorman Museum displays some of the most exciting new Native artists anywhere, as well as prominent established artists. The museum was founded by Carl Nelson Gorman, one of the famous Navajo "code-talkers" in World War II and one of the founding members of the University of California at Davis' Native American Studies Department. In addition to hosting approximately four rotating exhibitions each year by cutting edge contemporary artists, the museum has a permanent collection that includes works by artists such as Kay Walkingstick, George Morrison, and C.N. Gorman himself.
