The Autry
National Center is an appropriate place for a Mass Comm 101 field
trip. It compares the media version of the American West with the
actual West.

The Autry does a good job of presenting both the
actual American West and the entertainment version of the American
West. These MC101s are touring an exhibit on the career of Gene Autry.

This exhibit sought to depict saloon life as it
actually was versus how it is portrayed in the movies. These MC101s are
in front of an actual 19th Century bar called the Los Angeles Bar.

These MC101s found a quiet corner of the
museum to sort through their field trip assignment notes. |
|
These MC101s are examining an exhibit on the
Gold Rush. |

The American West was a more diverse place than was typically depicted in classic Western entertainment. This dragon was part of an exhibit on the Chinese community in Los Angeles. |

Soon it was time to saddle up and mosey on
out of the Autry Museum. |
