Treasures from our Atherton Vault

Treasures from our Atherton Vault is a rare glimpse at some of the typically tucked away art and artifacts in the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s vast collections. Our curators have combed through more than a million archival documents and photographs and nearly 25,000 historic objects, cultivating the stories behind many strange, unusual and seldom seen items. The exhibition also highlights the challenges of preserving these priceless objects for generations to come and the future plans for expanding the vault itself.
