This video short was created by Melanie Mandl for the Imagined Wests exhibition at The Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles. Music composed by Joe Adkins and John Dylan Keith
In the long-term exhibition, Imagined Wests shows the ways we tell stories about the American West through pop culture, clothing, toys, art, archives, and other media. The exhibition features over 250 objects from the Autry collections and asks, as we so often do at the Autry, “What is a Western?”
