accessibility

The Museum at the Bighorns believes that experiencing our Museum’s exhibits and programs should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to a museum due to geographic isolation, cultural differences and economic hardship.  

The Museum at Bighorns wants to make sure everyone has a fantastic visit. Please reach out to us with any additional questions at (307) 675-1150 and we will do our best to accommodate.
