The Autry Museum of the American West, based in Los Angeles, operates as a mid-sized cultural institution within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector that centers on the diverse peoples and perspectives of the American West. It offers exhibitions and a broad slate of public programming, including lectures, film, theater, festivals, family events, and music, while supporting scholarship, research, and educational outreach to connect past and present. The collection comprises more than 500,000 objects and artifacts, including the Southwest Museum of the American Indian Collection, one of the largest and most significant holdings in the United States. Its audiences include visitors, scholars, and students who seek a deeper understanding of Western histories and Indigenous and other diverse narratives through access to its programs and resources. In late 2024, the Autry launched an evening event series to broaden access to its programming.
