The Bison are Coming

The larger-than-life bronze bison statues created by Nebraska artist Gary Staab are visiting Morrill Hall on their way to the Smithsonian. Join UNSM educators, Smithsonian staff, and community partners for a day of hands-on activities celebrating our national mammal. Visitors will also learn about the statues' creation and can explore Morrill Hall's temporary exhibit "Bison." All activities are included with admission, and all admission discounts including senior, veteran, and Museums for All (Free with WIC/SNAP/EBT) are valid for this event.
"Bison” tells the story of this quintessentially North American animal and the Native American tribes who depended on it. The exhibition illuminates the past, present and vibrant future of bison on the continent and invites visitors of all ages to explore the significance of bison in the cultures of Plains Indian Peoples — particularly as a resource for food, clothing, shelter and tools. The exhibition is presented by Kauffman Museum of North Newton, Kansas, on behalf of the National Buffalo Foundation.
