Current Exhibitions
In addition to our five museums, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West creates and hosts temporary special exhibitions in various galleries throughout the Center. Here’s what’s on view today:
Buffalo Nation
Center-wide
Buffalo Nation is a two-year program at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West celebrating America’s 250th anniversary and the buffalo through immersive exhibitions, interactive experiences, and special events. Buffalo Nation tells the powerful story of the American bison—once numbering 30 million or more, nearly lost to extinction, and now a symbol of renewal.
Key Dates
January 30, 2026: The Buffalo Nation experience begins with six Spotlight Exhibitions presented across the Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s museums and library.
August 22, 2026: The primary exhibition opens to the public in the Duncan Special Exhibition Gallery, surrounding visitors with immersive environments and interactive experiences.
Today's West
Today’s West features selections from the Whitney Western Art Museum’s collection of contemporary art created since the 1950s. The subjects are familiar: the land, peoples, and wildlife of the American West. However, unconventional techniques and styles and modern-day themes distinguish these artworks from their historical counterparts.
