CODY FIREARMS MUSEUM
It’s bucket-list-worthy for a reason. Immerse yourself in completely redesigned exhibits that house more than 4,000 firearms. It’s the most comprehensive firearms museum in the United States, and it’s reason enough to visit the Cody & Yellowstone area.
A Bucket-List-Worthy Firearms Experience
The Cody Firearms Museum in Cody, Wyoming is one of five museums at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West—founded in 1991 and completely redesigned in 2019. Counting firearms-related objects in addition to the guns themselves, the museum houses more than 10,000 artifacts that span hundreds of years.
Learn about firearms in the West, military use, physics, engraving, and more — and experience firearms history in a way that informs your opinions and starts meaningful conversations.

The staff of the Cody Firearms Museum cannot view firearms without prior appointment, and we do not accept unsolicited drop-off of firearms for donation.
