The RW Norton Art Gallery in Shreveport, LA is a renowned museum that houses an exceptional collection of art spanning over four millennia. It is particularly well-known for its impressive collections of works by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, two titans of western art. The museum, which opened in 1966, serves as a teaching museum, encouraging community participation in thoughtful interpretations and discussions.
The R.W. Norton Art Gallery was established by the R.W. Norton Art Foundation, which was created in 1946 by Richard W. Norton, Jr. and his mother to honor Richard W. Norton, Sr. and benefit the community. The museum's collection continues to expand and grow, thanks to the ongoing efforts of the Board of Control and the Foundation. Admission to the museum is free, and it offers a wide variety of styles, time periods, and historical importance in its extensive permanent collection of over 400 paintings and sculptures by more than 100 artists.
