Inside SoCal: 4/24 wrap-up
Autry Museum of the American West
The Autry Museum of the American West brings together the stories of all peoples of the American West, connecting the past with the present to inspire our shared future.
The Autry Museum in Griffith Park, originally the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage, was co-founded by Jackie and Gene Autry and Joanne and Monte Hale. With the opening of the Museum in 1988, Gene Autry realized his dream "to build a museum which would exhibit and interpret the heritage of the West and show how it influenced America and the world." Mr. Autry was a legendary recording and movie star whose illustrious career spanned some 60 years in the entertainment industry. He was an astute businessman, Chairman of the Board of a broadcasting empire, and owner of a Major League Baseball team. His legacy lives on in many ways, but especially through the art and exhibitions at the museum.
