Spanning works from the late nineteenth century to the present, the exhibition features images of iconic Western figures\u2014prospectors, pioneers, cowboys, and outlaws\u2014alongside myths and monsters, including a life-sized Bigfoot skeleton \u201cunearthed\u201d by artist Clayton Bailey. The exhibition also reflects on the West\u2019s rugged landscapes as both inspiration and resource, with photographs by Ansel Adams, Harry Reuben Reynolds, and Ralph Clark documenting Western state and national parks increasingly pressured by tourism and development. As wilderness recedes, the exhibition asks what stories will endure, what new legends will arise, and which wild places will remain for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art<br \/>\n650 N 1100 E<br \/>\nLogan, UT 84322<br \/>\n(435) 797-0163 | nehma@usu.edu<\/p>\n<p>Museum Hours (Fall 2025):<br \/>\nTuesday\u2013Thursday, 10 am\u20135 pm; Friday, 10 am\u20138 pm; Saturday, 10 am\u20134 pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOGAN January 20, 2026 \u2013 May 5, 2027 Panel Discussion &amp; Reception: Wednesday, January 28, 2026, 5:30\u20137:00 pm (Roundtable panel at Russell\/Wanlass Performance Hall), followed by a reception with refreshments and live music from 7:00\u20138:30 pm at the museum.
