About
The Brinton Museum is more than a museum. The Brinton Museum property has three main areas to explore, each showcasing its own collection of unique and engaging artwork.
Historic Brinton Ranch House - Inside, you’ll find original watercolors, oils, pen and ink drawings, sculptures, and historic documents (including letters by John James Audubon and Thornton Wilder)—all in their original setting. The home is furnished with original Brinton family items, as left by Helen Brinton in 1960. (Check in at the Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building for information regarding guided tours).
Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building - Our crown jewel! Three floors highlight founder Bradford Brinton’s eclectic and extensive collections of his favorite artists, including Edward Borein etchings, hand-colored letters and monotypes; the largest collection of Hans Kleiber art in existence; Gollings oils and drawings; and the Gallatin Collection of Plains Indian Art.
Lunch with a view - Located on the third floor of the Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building, the Brinton Bistro features indoor and outdoor patio seating and spectacular views of the Bighorn Mountains.
