National Cowboy Museum follows where buffalo roam in 'Ancient. Massive. Wild – The Bison Exhibit,' featuring OKC Thunder's Rumble

The museum has essentially combined two different exhibits into its “Ancient. Massive. Wild” spotlight on bison. The traveling “Bison Exhibit,” which originated as part of a National Endowment for the Humanities program called “NEH on the Road” and has been continued by the National Buffalo Foundation, the Kauffman Museum and the National Buffalo Museum, celebrates the continued cultural significance of the majestic bovine.

“It’s talking about the evolution of bison and its relationship with people, so you look at hunting and then basically the hide trade, competition, climate, environment,” Singleton said.

“It’s very hands-on with touch items … and we expect people to touch the (bison) hide, to touch the scapula, the whip.”
