A Little About us . . .

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 art center in the small village 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 non-profit organization bringing exhibitions, programs and educational opportunities for all ages.  The Main Gallery is on a rotating schedule of Art and History featuring Montana artists and the historic Bigfork area.

The upper galleries are home to our historic exhibitions, featuring 100 years of Bigfork history in photographs and special exhibitions of Bigfork life, Flathead Lake and the flora and fauna of the area.

The Museum has a gift shop filled with Montana made products.  This web site features some of those items. For current and previous exhibitions please scroll the menu bar to see our exciting variety of  exhibitions.

We are open Tuesday-Saturday for 11am to 5pm.  Closed Sunday and Monday.  We are located at 525 Electric Avenue in the heart of downtown Bigfork

You can join us with your support of the museum by becoming a member.
