For anyone who loves Western Art,
the Brinton Memorial is a delight.
Here you will find a stunning collection of first-rate
paintings and sculptures by the likes of Remington, Russell,
Borein, and Audubon. They were all collected in the early 20th
Century by Bradford Brinton, a wealthy rancher, businessman, and art
connoisseur. In
addition to the fine art, Brinton also collected Native American crafts,
including woven rugs, deerhide garments, beaded saddlebags and
cradleboards, which are also on display throughout the rambling ranch
house. Indeed, Brinton's
entire house is a kind of artwork in itself, filled as it is with rare
furnishings and surprising objects. During the summer, the Museum also
hosts exhibitions of
important contemporary artists. |
