The Cody Firearms Museum (CFM) is undergoing an exciting renovation between now and the summer 2019. The CFM houses most of the firearms in the collection, but did you know there are firearms in all five of the museums at the Center? While the museum undergoes renovation, please journey throughout the entire facility to see permanent and additional temporary installations of guns. And make sure to stop by the Special Exhibits gallery to see hundreds of the best firearms in the collection, learn about the history of the museum, and see more information on the renovation. While there, take advantage of our two touch screens, where you can see the entire collection online and even digitally curate your own exhibit!

Thank you for your patience and come back and see us again when we are done!

To find out where the firearms are located throughout the Center, flip through the following pages.
