Abstract
The museum of western art, dedicated to “cowboys and Indians” art, is unique to the United States. In 1959, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, introduced an innovative exhibition through its display of Frederic Remington's studio collection, relocated from its original site at the artist's suburban New York home. The Whitney Gallery of Western Art's installation of Frederic Remington's art and artifacts at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center inspired an interpretive strategy of integrating a facsimile of an artist's studio into an art gallery that was adopted by other museums of western art. Period rooms in museums of art and history are the models for these replicated studio interiors in museums of western art, themselves established as a hybrid of art and history.
