I traveled well out of my way to visit the Hockaday in Kalispell a few weeks ago and was very disappointed. There are virtually no pieces on display which are owned by the museum and the four galleries were filled almost exclusively with paintings and other works FOR SALE. In other words, the place is a gallery, not a museum (and usually galleries dont charge admission). One of the docents told me they own one Charley Russell painting but that it was locked away.(I note that the NW Montana Museum of History just down the street was very interesting and well worth the visit.)

Neat building, interesting exhibits and informative, helpful staff.

Such a lovely place to visit. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend spending time here.

This museum is on the rise. Make sure you visit

The mission is: To enrich the cultural life of our community and region, and preserve the artistic legacy of Montana and Glacier National Park. But in my opinion the Hockaday Museum tends to be a little bit self-serving and that I dont see how it promotes artists outside of its own venue. Nonetheless Im sure it has wonderful art pieces and works that are worth checking out

If you love trains, if you love Glacier national park, see these exhibits. Watch the movie here about Glacier national park.

Well done exhibits nice youth art programs fantastic

Beautiful art. The guitars downstairs are really neat.

If you like art and history you need to check this place out, well worth the time

Always go to their openings great collection s

Was given a fantastic tour by Beth. The atmosphere is quiet and the place is wonderful and affordable. I was even able to purchase a nice piece with grizzlies on it.

This museum, built in the building of an old library, contains a lot of great works of art focusing on local nature and history. It was a great visit after a week exploring glacuer national park since webhad already seen many of the areas featured in the paintings. The admission fee is affordable and there is both artwork and merchandise available for sale.

Great museum with beautiful, local art work. Reasonable entrance fee. Worth a visit!

Have good art and worth walking thru

Great regional art! Love to see your regional artist. Saw the local schools kids show....it was fantastic. You have a lot of talented artist up there! Great job.

Nice little gallery.

The sculpture exhibit and Western American art was wonderful. The curation was top notch. This museum in a historic building is a hidden gem! I loved the patinad bison sculpture grouping on the front lawn.

Nice little gallery. Does a lot of community art with locals and kids including classes and shows.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The museum, however, is very small, in a remote location and probably underfunded. As such, there isn’t anything there worth a visit.

This should be free EVERY day. The art quality needs increased, half of the paintings were not that great, poor quality. Not everyone can be an artist, no matter what others say...

Beautiful art work, very kind workers.
