Grace Dee May Museum

The Grace Dee May Museum, located at the historic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, presents fine art and historical artifacts that advance the public's knowledge and understanding of the American West. Our extensive bronze collection, paintings, Navaho rugs, kachina dolls, jewelry, costumes and more – all share the story of the explorers, pioneers, artists, and leaders who overcame countless hardships crossing prairies, deserts and mountains. Exhibits also share the impact on the indigenous tribes and their way of life.
 
Visitors will discover an array of exhibits that explore the legends and lore of the West, beginning with the Lewis & Clark Expedition, along with the contributions that Freemasonry played during and after the Western Migration. Our galleries present the unique collections of a remarkable woman and educator, Audrey Marie Stein, who championed "Illuminating the Legacy of the West".
