The Buffalo Bill Center of the West contains five museums: Whitney Western Art Museum, Buffalo Bill Museum, Plains Indian Museum, Cody Firearms Museum and the Draper Natural History Museum 

We took in three of them: The Cody Firearms Museum, Plains Indian Museum and the Buffalo Bill Museum.

On the Buffalo Bill Museum, the Center's website states:

A Must-See Wild West Museum

The Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming is one of five museums at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. It’s a western history museum about the museum’s namesake, as well as some of the biggest characters in the West like Annie Oakley, Sitting Bull, Pawnee Bill, and other members of the Wild West Show. 

If you want to learn about cowboy folklore and pop culture on your way through the Yellowstone area, this is your place to visit. 

There were many paintings and photographs of Buffalo Bill Cody in the museum along with artifacts of the era he lived in.
