National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming featuring fine art depicting wildlife


National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming featuring fine art depicting wildlife

This museum has nearly 4,000 works of art relating to nature and wildlife. They strive to enrich and inspire public appreciation of fine art by focusing on wildlife. The collection includes painting, sculptures, jewelry, photography, and furniture.

1. The museum digitized only a few of their holdings that are currently on exhibition. The items that were meticulously digitized were those that were for sale.

2. Metadata includes the creator of the piece, the title of the piece, the price, materials, and dimensions.

3. each object had a larger version for viewing. The pieces were photographed from one angle. the items that were not for sale where poorly digitized. They were photographed from an angle as opposed from straight forward. this caused the images to look slightly distorted. Many of the paintings were photographed too close to the image which cut off portions of the painting.

4. the intended audience appeared to be anyone willing to buy the art because these for sale items were of a higher digital quality.
