Museum Of Idaho

From ancient mammoths to the stories of the American West, the Museum of Idaho brings the region’s history and science to life in downtown Idaho Falls. Its flagship exhibition, *Way Out West*, follows the relationship between people and the landscape, from Idaho’s first inhabitants and volcanic origins to mining towns, settlement and the state’s changing identity. Interactive displays let visitors try an augmented-reality mammoth hunt, explore a recreated historic town and discover how the region’s geology shaped its environment. The museum also hosts major travelling exhibitions on subjects ranging from prehistoric creatures to American history, bringing experiences rarely found in a city of Idaho Falls’ size.
