While in Oklahoma city , I had
a few hours to do some sight seeing, so I decided to go to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage
Museum
It certainly was well worth having a look
through. It had fantastic displays and artwork depicting the wild west scenery
and way of life. These included an actual wild west town (All indoors), various
dioramas and collections of wild west artifacts. I have included a number of
pictures to give you an idea. One of the highlights was an amazing painting of
a storm moving over the grand canyon. Unfortunately I was not allowed to take
photos of it, so if you want to see it you will have to travel to Oklahoma .
