Lonely Planet review for Museum of the American West

Hop over to the Museum of the American West, where exhibits on the good, the bad and the ugly of America's westward expansion rope in even the most reluctant of cowpokes. Star exhibits include an original stagecoach, a large Colt firearms collection and a nymph-festooned saloon.

    Surprisingly interesting.

    remelila recommends this,

    I've never been a particular fan of "the Old West", and yet I was surprised at how enjoyable a trip here was. The collection has numerous artifacts from 19th century Western life, and not just from archetypal cowboy life -- you get a really good idea of what life was like for Chinese immigrants, freed African slaves (many of whom turned cowboy themselves), pioneer women, etc.
