Dallin’s art was inspired by classical forms, figures in Euro-American history, Indigenous peoples, and his family and friends. Works on exhibit include rare master plasters, original bronze casts, prototypes of public monuments and memorials, and coins, medals, and paintings. The Museum’s comprehensive exhibits ground Dallin’s unique body of work within the context of his commitment to artistic expression, education, and Indigenous rights.
