Transforming into a retro 1960s movie theater this summer, the Briscoe Western Art Museum will tell the dramatic history of Western films in
Still in the Saddle: A New History of the Hollywood Western. Visitors are transported to the world of Wild West cinema with almost 60 original vintage movie posters, costumes, props and authentic lobby cards.
The exhibit focuses on the late 1960s through 1980s considered the last of the Western’s glory days. The time period defined by social unrest, political turmoil, economic uncertainty and a shift in culture through generational change is reflected through the genre’s films. American history has always been represented through Westerns’ heroes and shifts in perspective, Briscoe CEO Michael Duchemin, Ph.D., says, pointing to the variance in the characters of Gene Autry, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.
