What To Expect

C.M. Russell Museum

Born in 1864 in St. Louis, Charles M. Russell grew up fascinated by tales of the Wild West. He traveled to Montana in 1880 and made a life on the frontier, working first as a cowboy and then a night wrangler, leaving his days free to observe and sketch working cowboys. Once a full-time artist, Russell moved with his wife the short distance from Cascade to Great Falls, where he built his home and studio. Over the course of his life he created around 4,000 works of art that reside in both public and private collections throughout the country. Although primarily focused on the works of the local artist, the C.M. Russell Museum also includes numerous collections of other western artists whose works complemented the themes that so intrigued Russell throughout his lifetime as well as the original Russell Home and Studio.

The C.M. Russell delivers so much more than one might think: Russell's exquisite works from each period of his life are displayed and explained.Not only does one experience his genius, but the museum presents a superb exhibit about the bison: its uses to the Plains Indian, its almost-extinction, and its life today. The exhibit about the Calgary Stampede is excellent, too. For me, the most interesting were the Russells' home and studio, also on the grounds. Beautifully maintained, the visitor gains insight into the family's life. It's a must-see!

Looking for something to do while staying in Great Falls. Opted to try the C.M. Russell Museum. Well worth the time and cost to visit. Gives a history of one of Montana's most well-known artists as well as featuring other artists. Includes his home and studio. A hidden gem.

Your admission includes Russell's studio and home. Don't miss these places! Both are right next to the museum. You can gain insight on how he worked and his home life. The museum is well laid out and I learned a great deal.
