The Yellowstone Art Museum is a unique and important visual arts center for Montana and the surrounding region. Founded in 1964, it has now expanded to two publicly accessible buildings; the main building which hosts the museum's galleries and the Visible Vault; a publicly accessible art storage facility.
This historic building was constructed in 1927 as one of the original Haynes photo shops. The Haynes family operated 13 photo shops in Yellowstone and produced 55 million postcards and the park's earliest guidebooks, some of which are on display. Displays of historic art sit alongside the work-in-progress of current artists-in-residence.
