Profile Information
- What is your occupation?
- The Autry National Center of the American West is an intercultural center and museum in Los Angeles, California that celebrates the diversity and history of the American West through three important institutions: the Southwest Museum of the American Indian, the Museum of the American West, and the Institute for the Study of the American West. The Autry’s mission is to explore the experiences and perceptions of the diverse peoples of the American West, connecting the past with the present to inform our shared future. All of the exhibitions, public programs, K-12 educational services and publications are designed to further this mission. · The Southwest Museum’s 238,000-piece collection is one of the most significant and representative of its kind in the United States, second only to the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of the American Indian. Comprised of 14,000 baskets, 10,000 ceramic items, 6,300 textiles and weavings, and more than 1,100 pieces of jewelry, the collection represents Indigenous peoples from Alaska to South America, with an emphasis on cultures from California and the Southwestern United States. The Southwest Museum was founded in 1907 and is the oldest museum in Los Angeles. · The Museum of the American West was established in 1988 by Gene Autry to explore and share the comprehensive story of the American West and the multiple cultures, perspectives, traditions, and experiences–real and imagined–that make the West significant. Its collection is comprised of 21,000 paintings, sculptures, costumes, textiles, firearms, tools, toys, musical instruments, and other objects. · The Institute for the Study of the American West is a research and publishing enterprise that produces and supports scholarly work in Western history and the arts. In 2002, the Women of the West Museum of Colorado merged with the Institute, infusing the Autry’s focus with a scholarly and educational emphasis on gender issues and women’s experiences in the American West.

Nasty Ned Logan said… - I was back recently. Morgan Weistling painted me and the painting was part of the recent exhibit that showed there...Masters of the Old West I believe it was called. It was an honor to be able to do the cabinet work there along with Mr. Autry's office and then hang there on the walls. It was quite a thrill. Please give Mrs. Hale my best. She is a class act as is Mrs. Autry. That job remains my favorite in my 30 years in business.

- Can you tell me if Joanne Hale is still invovled with the musuem? I met her when building the place. I did the cabinet work there including Mr. Autry's office. He was sure a class act. Also a funny note is that a painting of me was recently exhibited there.
