Kick-off the joy of the holiday season with this family-oriented celebration at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Treats, art projects, and (best of all) Santa Claus will all be there to make for a fun afternoon. Don't forget to bring your camera to take a picture of your young artist with Santa in front of the Museum's beautifully appointed tree.

Looking for a stunning gift inspired by nature?  How about a handsome volume filled with images and information about wildlife and art? 

Join us in the Museum Shop during Wild About the Season to purchase a copy (or two!) of Adam Duncan Harris' new book, Wildlife in American Art: Masterworks from the National Museum of Wildlife Art.  Dr. Harris will be delighted to sign a copy for you and for your friends.

The book is available in three formats: soft cover ($35.00), hard cover ($55.00), and a special limited edition of 250 ($275.00).

For more than two decades, the National Museum of Wildlife Art has been building the most comprehensive collection of paintings and sculptures portraying North American wildlife in the world. We are pleased to announce the publication of the Museum's first major collection catalogue, Wildlife in American Art: Masterworks from the National Museum of Wildlife Art, written by Curator of Art Adam Duncan Harris, Ph.D., with a preface by Chairman Emeritus Bill Kerr, and foreword by Museum President & CEO James C. McNutt, Ph.D. The book is published by the prestigious University of Oklahoma Press.

Wildlife in American Art presents an exciting tour through the Museum's finest holdings as it charts the history of this enduring presence in the history of American art, and explores the evolving relationship between Americans and the natural resources of this continent. The book features more than 125 full-color illustrations, highlighting the entire range of the Museum's collection from the western wilds of George Catlin to the desert drama of Georgia O'Keeffe. Also included are visitor favorites such as John James Audubon, Albert Bierstadt, Carl Rungius, Edward Kemeys, Paul Manship, and Robert Kuhn.
