In addition to the rotating collection, the museum also has an extensive western research library and Journey West children's gallery.

In 2004, the Masel S. Quinn Pavilion of the Western Art Academy was completed for use in ongoing education programs.

The 14,000 square foot of interior space house an impressive permanent collection of paintings and sculptures, all done by past and present renowned western artists.

Distinctive handcrafted boveda ceilings, end-cut mesquite and Saltillo tile flooring combine with a multitude of western artifacts and priceless art to leave a lasting impression on all who visit.

An outdoor pavilion is used frequently for special events, wedding receptions, corporate gatherings, reunions and educational classes.
