The National Museum of Wildlife Art in Wyoming will pay tribute to national parks this summer/National Museum of Wildlife Art

The National Museum of Wildlife Art, just north of Jackson, Wyoming, is joining the centennial celebration of the National Park Service by hosting a number of park-themed exhibitions and events this summer.

Grand Teton National Park in Art: Painting the Park From Thomas Moran to Today (Through Sept. 6) is a collection of artworks from the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Grand Teton National Park, and private collections. Ten paintings by Moran that have been unavailable for public viewing for more than a decade will be on display. This exhibit places the past alongside the present to highlight a continuum of artistic interpretations of the park as well as the impact that preservation itself has had on its pristine wilderness.

“We are really excited to be collaborating with Grand Teton National Park on our ‘Painting the Park’ exhibit,” Adam Duncan Harris, Petersen Curator of Art & Research at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, said in a release. “We feel very fortunate to be able to display original Moran watercolors as well as more contemporary works from their collection. There will be an exciting mix of paintings from the 1870s to as recently as 2015, including works by contemporary local artists.”

Yellowstone National Park Through the Lens of Time: Photography by Bradly J. Boner and William Henry Jackson (Through Aug. 28) is a project by Boner, a veteran photojournalist, that retraces the visual steps of Jackson, the pioneering photographer of the 1871 Hayden Survey who documented what would become Yellowstone National Park.

Yosemite 1938: On the Trail With Ansel Adams and Georgia O’Keeffe (June 10-Aug. 28) shows Adams’ artistic expression of his beloved Yosemite National Park landscape. His photography introduced influential visitors to the deep wilderness of the region and played a role in the conservation of countless public lands.

“Yosemite was such a special place to him, and he just reveled in taking different people through it like Georgia O’Keeffe. That’s evidenced by the expedition that we’re lucky enough to have the portfolio for,” Duncan Harris said.

Vintage Park Posters (June 18-Aug. 18) will feature a selection of original park posters, supplemented by modern reproductions. Between 1935 and 1943, the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project printed more than 2 million posters in 35,000 different designs, some of these intended to promote the National Park Service and the nation’s diverse array of magnificent parks.

The National Museum of Wildlife Art, founded in 1987, houses more than 5,000 artworks representing wild animals from around the world. Featuring work by prominent artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, Robert Kuhn, John James Audubon, and Carl Rungius, the museum’s permanent collection chronicles much of the history of wildlife in art, from 2500 B.C. to the present. Built into a hillside overlooking the National Elk Refuge, the museum received the designation “National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States” by order of Congress in 2008.
