The Brinton Museum is built into a hillside outside Sheridan, Wyoming, and overlooks the Bighorn Mountains. The entrance feels like a portal to some interior place—or maybe an extension of that interior place as it tries to emerge from the earth.

Inside is a striking collection of indigenous and Western art, including: recollections and paintings of The Battle of the Greasy Grass / Little Bighorn; Winold Reiss’s Montana Blackfeet portraits, each with their own story to tell; and Jim Jackson’s paintings on carved leather.
