The Infectious Culture of Wyoming Wildlife
December 4, 2021 - February 6, 2022
In the words of student curators Grace Curran, Kate Frederick, Madeleine Moore, and Sarahi Roldan:
“Microbes are a fascinating subject. In this exhibit, we chose to represent bacteria and viruses that have impacts on our local wildlife. These microbes are both beneficial and detrimental to their hosts, and we hope the artworks on display here inspire you to take a closer look at the mysterious world of microbes.”
The National Museum of Wildlife Art is dedicated to displaying student art in a professional setting, and we are proud to partner with young artists from Jackson Hole High School on this exhibit.

Staff Picks
Through May 10, 2026Curating this exhibit has been an exercise in collaboration, which is one of our core values at the Museum. We began by asking each staff member to make a short list of some of their favorite works in the collection. Then, the curatorial team took them to see a few of those pieces. We asked the staff to look for artworks that were not already on display and would not be part of any upcoming exhibitions. A person’s taste in art is so uniquely personal and individual to who they are. This exhibition is not only an opportunity for you to get to know our staff, but it is also a chance to discover new pieces in the permanent collection—or perhaps to see old favorites in a new light.

Two of a Kind?
Through April 26, 2026This exhibition is an exercise in comparison. It invites visitors to consider pairs of artworks, drawn primarily from the Museum’s permanent collection, and contemplate the question posed by its title: are these artworks truly Two of a Kind?
