The National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson is celebrating 30 years this weekend. The museum first opened in 1987 and has grown into an important tourist attraction. One of the founding board members was Maggie Scarlett. She tells Wyoming Public Radio’s Bob Beck that it’s been fun to watch the museum grow.
"Lunch was fab - the trout po' boy and lettuce wraps, wow!"
"This is one of my happy places. I stop here every time I'm in Jackson."
"Best food in town and 5-star service! We'll be coming back again! "
"Not only was the museum interesting, the all gender bathroom was great. Thank you for thinking about LGBTQ and disabled people!"
"An amazing collection of paintings, sculptures, and artifacts that preserve and celebrate the beauty of the natural world and wildlife. I was thoroughly impressed!"
"What an amazing and inspiring collection. A lovely way to spend time in Jackson Hole!"
"I loved it and was surprised to see a section that also encouraged children to participate, probably one of the only museums that wasn't boring!"
