Current Exhibits

The museum’s galleries are peppered with points of interactivity. The bison puzzle exhibit allows visitors to delve into bison biology and physiology through physical interaction with life-sized reproductions of bison bones and organs, while an accompanying video from the Canadian Museum of Nature traces the path of a bison’s digestive system.

There are other interactive elements throughout the museum galleries including a touch table, a hands-on play area, and a digital matching game at which visitors can test their knowledge about Indigenous People’s use of bison in the past. The Bullock Texas State History Museum created the game and licensed it to the National Buffalo Museum. The game features beautifully illustrated images and animations by artist Diana Marques, and explores uses of bison skins, meat, bones, and organs.
