It was very disappointing. First def high entry and then only 2 small rooms. We promised us more of it. Unfortunately not recommended.

It was very informative. Everytime I go I learn more about the rich history of the black cowboy.

Very nice small museum about some of the lesser known western personages. A great addition to a stockyards visit!

Such an important place. The displays present a reality of the diverse West that are so much more realistic and interesting than our view of the West shaped by novels like “The Virginian”, John Wayne and Spaghetti Westerns movies. We don’t have to revise our history of the West because the West was always a multi-cultural, Libido space for the real radical transgressive outlaws and some “lawmen” who may not have been what they seemed but certainly more than capable despite what society roles would have us believe.

Interesting museum, most liked the displays on the diversity of cowboys and cowgirls in the wild west. Like the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles this museums show the reality of the frontier not the John Wayne fake myths that disrespect what really happened out there where people struggled and lived with honestly, dignity, and freedom from oppressive social norms. I am glad that I got to see this museum. Sadly no donors have stepped up to find this cultural institute. This is a weakness of Dallas Civic culture.
