National Cowboy Museum
(and Western Heritage Museum)
| Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States |
The museum sought a design to echo the visions that spurred westward expansion in the 19th century: a desire for more, a dream of the future and a readiness to explore the possibility of greatness. Inspiration came from the established design inspirations of Oklahoma, namely the covered wagons, camp tents and rolling prairie forms. These features primarily materialized into the roof lines.
