The Autry offers a wide array of programming and exhibits to educate and enrich the general public. Through the Institute for the Study of the American West, the Autry provides the general public an opportunity to engage with historians, anthropologists, authors of fiction, and many other scholars and creative artists in a nurturing and supportive environment. While our docent led tours of the museum help people learn important lessons about the historical and contemporary West.
Also, we annually offer a docent training program where adults can learn about the history of the West and then help teach the region’s diverse history to students and visitors of all ages!
