Museum at the Big Horns director previews 2026 exhibitions and outreach
Summary
Museum director Carrie Andrew updated commissioners on the museum's reopening phases, school outreach, a photography exhibit marking the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and a Smithsonian traveling exhibit 'Voices and Votes' April 18–June 13, 2026.
Carrie Andrew, director of the Museum at the Big Horns, briefed commissioners on operations and upcoming exhibits. She said phase 1 — the museum lobby and store — opened to the public in 2025, and that museum exhibit fabrication for six gallery spaces is scheduled for 2027 pending designers' schedules and bid reviews.
Andrew described ongoing outreach with the YMCA and school groups, monthly hands-on activities, and downtown walking tours tied to third-grade curricula. She highlighted current and upcoming exhibits, including a photography display documenting the Battle of the Little Bighorn and a Smithsonian traveling exhibit, "Voices and Votes," scheduled April 18–June 13 to mark the nation's 250th celebrations.
The director asked the board to visit the museum and attend accompanying presentations; commissioners thanked her for the update and the meeting adjourned with an invitation to return for a Wyoming Business Council presentation later that morning.
