We grew up in the 1950's with heavy doses of Hopalong Cassidy, Cisco Kid, Lone Ranger, etc., so this museum was a lot of fun for us. It probably wouldn't be as good for non-cowboy-oriented folks. There are some interesting original pieces, including the outfits, guns, and saddles of several TV and real Western figures. Also some good explanations of... More

Growing up not far from where most westerns were filmed, I always had a love of the Wild West and everything about cowboys, the Gold Rush, and Indian lore. I've been to the Autry National Center many times and every time I see more and different things. It's educational, but more than that it glorifies all things West and gives... More

I went recently for an art exhibition- they have superb gallery spaces here. The collection of artifacts is excellent, though the displays could use some refreshing. A big hit with the under 10's, though teens begrudgingly enjoy it.

Wasn't exactly sure of the date, but took friends from out of the country and they really had a good time enjoying sights of the old west.

If you are a fan of the western or cowboy history you will love this museum. The bottom has a ton of guns and other wild west artifacts . You feel like you are stepping back in time . This museum is directly across from the LA Zoo. The gift shop is great also I got some good stuff .

Beautiful museum but the contents were just so so to my liking. Lots of pictures/paintings upstairs, the better stuff was downstairs so maybe start there. We went on a day that was free via Bank of America.

I implore all fellow baby boomers to pay this museum a visit. It took us back to the days of B&W TV & uncomplicated lives. Oh, to be a child again! You won't regret the time spent here.

We had a great few hours in this hidden gem. A lot of fun memorabilia, nice art, and interesting historic artifacts. Fun for kids and adults. We went later in the afternoon and almost had the place to ourselves.
