Artistic Gateway to Glacier
The Hockaday Museum of Art’s mission is to enrich the cultural life of our community and region, and preserve the artistic legacy of Montana and Glacier National Park. The Museum maintains a permanent collection and offers rotating exhibits by nationally renowned and emerging artists, in addition to a permanent exhibit of Glacier National Park art and culture. A Discovery Gallery provides hands-on activities for children that changes along with the rotating exhibits.
The museum is housed in a stunning classical-revival-style building, originally erected as the town library in 1903. In addition to rotating exhibits, it has a special “Crown of the Continent” Gallery that features works from the permanent collection by well-known artists, including O.C. Seltzer, Ace Powell, Jeanne Hamilton, Gary Schultz, and more.
