The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, located in the Fort Worth Cultural District, is a 33,000 SF new construction museum honoring and documenting the lives of women who have distinguished themselves while exemplifying the pioneer spirit of the American West.

The museum’s interior is designed to provide a clear circulation path for visitors and to create central spaces that can be used for after-hours functions.  A large Lobby provides room for ticketing and group assembly. The large central Rotunda serves as a constant orienting point and can be rented for special events.  The Rotunda also houses the Hall of Fame honoree exhibits and inductees are memorialized with brass stars mounted on the Rotunda walls.

Most of the building area is used for exhibition space and relatively little for collections.  A future expansion is planned to increase collections storage as well as permanent and flexible gallery space.  The Administrative space will be converted to exhibition space with the expansion.  A link to the future Cattle Raisers Museum is also planned.  This would allow joint ticketing, allowing visitors to walk into the adjacent building on the Second Level. Exhibition and collection facilities are designed to accommodate traveling shows that require AAM accredited space.
