While at Reindeer Games Day, guests are invited to view “Reindeer Trail,” a whimsical winter wonderland exhibition which showcases 30 original reindeer created by talented local artists. The exhibition, which draws inspiration from the museum’s rich collection of Western and Native American art, can be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. In addition to the creative, artist-designed reindeer, “Reindeer Trail” highlights the cultural and historical significance of reindeer and their relatives through artworks located around the museum. Guests can view historical depictions of these animals throughout the galleries, where reindeer and other wildlife are represented in various styles and media, celebrating the beauty of the natural world.

This event is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the joy of creativity and the magic of the holiday season. Whether you’re discovering hidden treasures in the exhibitions or crafting your own holiday keepsakes, Reindeer Games Day promises something for everyone.
