The National Museum of Wildlife Art is proud to welcome more than 80,000 people through its doors annually, including more than 10,000 children. The Museum's award-winning architecture is known for its amazing synergy with the Jackson Hole landscape. The 51,000 square foot building with its Arizona sandstone façade was designed based on the ruins of Scotland's Carins Castle and echoes the rugged hillside behind the facility. It overlooks the 25,000 acre National Elk Refuge and is only 2.5 miles north of the town of Jackson, Wyoming.
