Indoor Exhibits

Exhibits at the High Desert Museum show how the land and peoples of the High Desert have exacted and experienced significant changes throughout time. 

Through detailed experiential dioramas in Spirit of the West, visitors can witness how fur traders lived, the tribulations of traveling the Oregon Trail, and how a buckaroo spent his time. 

By Hand Through Memory gives visitors a look into Plateau Native American life in the Reservation Era, showing how Plateau tribes have retained their identities by continuing traditions while actively participating in the rapid changes of a century. 

Brooks and Collins Galleries feature visiting exhibits of regional artistic, cultural, and historical significance and change on a regular basis. 

Wildlife at the Museum helps visitors connect with the wildlife and the landscape of the High Desert region and better understand  the importance of High Desert wildlife, their habitats and the delicate ecosystem of the region.  Indoor wildlife exhibits include the Wild Cats and the Desertarium.
