Museum

The Bigfork Museum of Art & History was founded in 1983 the roots of the organization trace back to 1977 when a group of forward-thinking individuals saw the need to foster the arts and established a community center in the small Hamlet of Bigfork. The group purchased and renovated a gas station and proceeded to turn it into the Bigfork Art & Cultural Center which is now the Bigfork Museum of Art & History. We are a not-for-profit corporation bringing exhibits, programs and education opportunities for all ages. The Main Gallery features a rotating exhibition schedule featuring Montana artists in the Main Gallery throughout the year. The Museum hosts workshops, lecture series, films and performances. The upper gallery is the home of 100 years of photographs of Bigfork from 1900 to present-day with special featured exhibits on Bigfork life.
