Recapturing the Real West: The Collections of William I. Koch

This exhibition explores western expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries and features the only existing photograph of Billy the Kid, as well as stagecoaches, paintings and sculptures. Clothing, guns and photographs illustrate social concepts that shaped the era uncluding the attitudes that led to Native American displacement.
This comprehensive private collection is rarely seen by the public eye and has been generously loaned to The Society of the Four Arts by William I. Koch.
