The Autry National Center is a mid-sized cultural nonprofit based in Los Angeles, California. It functions as an intercultural center that preserves and interprets the diversity and history of the American West through three interconnected institutions: The Museum of the American West, The Southwest Museum of the American Indian, and the Institute for the Study of the American West. Its work examines the experiences and perceptions of the region’s diverse peoples, linking historical understanding to present-day contexts for the shared future. The center serves visitors, researchers, educators, and the broader public, delivering educational and scholarly programming across its components. It sits within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, contributing to cultural education and heritage interpretation in the American West. In 2024, it expanded its programming with the launch of an evening event series.
