SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West is an immersive, art-filled, storytelling adventure through the American frontier, from cowboys and card games to outlaws and native art.

Whether you're a history buff, art lover, or just a fan of things with spurs, this two-story museum invites you to explore the grit, grandeur, and spirit that shaped the American West.

True West Magazine has awarded Western Spirit as the #1 western museum in the country!

While you're exploring there, don't miss the Rennard Strickland Collection of Western Film History. It's the world's largest collection of Western movie posters!
