Bison-tennial Community Exhibition Opening

Join us on Thursday, May 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. for the community exhibition opening of Bison-tennial: From Colonization to Rematriation. This is a FREE community event.  Bison-tennial explores the profound influence of bison on the history, cultures, and landscapes of the North American West. The exhibition traces their story from pre-colonial times through westward expansion and the near-destruction of the great herds—arriving at today’s growing restoration and rematriation efforts. During the opening event at the Museum, explore our new summer exhibitions, participate in an exciting scavenger hunt game, and enjoy free BBQ bites from Palate + complimentary beer or root beer from Grand Teton Brewing. This event will be hosted inside the Museum. Attendees are encouraged to explore all of our new summer exhibitions, including From Sea to Shining Sea: Wildlife Above & Below the Waves and Art in Motion: Kinetic Sculpture with Ivan Iler. Presentation in the Cook Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. followed by a short Q&A from Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative Executive Director and Board President and Eastern Shoshone Tribe Buffalo Manager, Jason Baldes BBQ bites from Palate (first 300 people) Beer (21+) or root beer (all ages) from Grand Teton Brewing (one drink per person, first 300 people) Scavenger hunt game  This event is generously sponsored by Friess Wildlife Art Charitable Lead Trust and Lea Charitable Trust.
