I was the only person there so got to wander slowly through the interesting exhibits. Especially liked the Russell room, with many pen and ink drawings hidden in drawers, ready to be admired.

The service desk was very helpful. The room is extremely organized, and though you can help yourself to the books on the shelf, the employees re-shelve your books. The microfilm readers are in good working condition. There are a lot of rules here, but that's what keeps everything so nice and organized. I had sent an email weeks before my arrival, and the index was pulled and waiting for me. The service desk people brought me the microfilms that I needed and my research went smoothly. They have lots of newspapers on film and that was great. Sharpened pencils and scratch paper everywhere, as they prefer you not bring much inside the room with you. They have lockers right outside to put your coat and bag in. You can take in your computer. Copies from the microfilm readers are .75, which is more then I'm accustomed to paying, but I was happy to do so. Museum's need to keep their doors open! Anything you could copy onto a memory stick, was free. As a genealogist, I can't wait to get back there!

We were interested in Charlie Russell art & were on our way to Great Falls when we read about this Helena museum and their Charlie Russell gallery. So glad we stopped. It is much, MUCH better than the Charlie Russell Museum in Great Falls. Photography (no flash) is allowed. (Not in Great Falls). They have dozens of Russell illustrated letters on display. (Great Falls has one). If you open the drawers, you are inches from these treasures protected by plexiglas. That's just the cream on the top. The rest of the museum is fresh & new & almost overwhelming. They have a wolf cave you can crawl in. Even Grammi's love that!

Even though we didn't arrive on a free day, we thought the price of $5.00 was well worth it. We went through time in the permanent exhibit from pre Clovis point to the 1950's with visits to Native American cultures, mining, ranching, and statehood . We were lucky to be there when they had a special exhibit of Charles M. Russell art. We also saw another celebratory Montana display. I was impressed that they had interactive history for children, as well. We didn't have children with us, but our adult daughter accompanied us.

Every second Saturday of the month, admission is free. It's only $5 per person on other days. We just happened to visit on a second Saturday. They have outstanding displays on the Aboriginal peoples of Montana as well as the ranching, mining and settling of the region by the white man. They also have a separate section of Charles Russell's paintings, sketches and sculptures. You will need several hours to see everything.

Located next to the Montana capital building, the Montana Historical Society is easy to find with plenty of parking. Outstanding Charlie Russell exhibit. Excellent historical information.
-
We had gone to tour the capital and stumbled onto the museum. It was only an hour before closing so our time was limited. We would have liked to have stayed longer. It is an excellent place for all ages to visit.
-
Filled with authentic and replicas that tell the stories of Montana History. I spent nearly 3 1/2 hours going through the galleries and want to go back. It was an excellent value for the entrance fee just to see the Charles M Russell section with sculptures, paintings, sketches and personal letters. It is a MUST SEE!

There are exhibits of interest to all ages. Our group ranged from 14 months to 65 years. All of us enjoyed ourselves. The gift shop is very nice. A good place for souvenirs.

A great family tourist spot. My family was thrilled with all the interesting things that they learned. Staff was friendly. This is a must see for anyone visiting Helena, MT.
