Company Profile
C.M. Russell Museum
Company Overview
Located in Great Falls, Montana, the C.M. Russell Museum is an art and cultural museum primarily dedicated to the American artist Charles M. Russell (1864–1926). The 76,000-square-foot facility houses the second most complete collection of Russell’s art and artifacts in the world. The museum complex includes Russell’s home (1900) and his log cabin studio (1903), enabling a uniquely comprehensive presentation of Russell’s legacy.
The museum’s governing body is the Trigg-C.M. Russell Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed in 1951 to preserve Russell artworks and personal objects collected by his friend and neighbor Emma Josephine Trigg. The original facility opened in 1953. Major building expansions occurred in 1969, 1985, and 2001. Subsequently, the scope of the museum expanded to include outstanding artworks by Russell’s contemporaries and an important installation about the bison in American culture, resulting in one of the nation’s finest repositories of Western and Native American art.
The mission of the C.M. Russell Museum is to collect, preserve, research, interpret, and educate on the art and life of Charles M. Russell; the art and life of his contemporaries; and the art of preceding and ensuing generations that depicts and focuses on the culture, life, and country of Russell’s West.
