the museum's collection embodies the best efforts of historic and contemporary artists to depict wildlife, including over 4,570 cataloged items spanning 4,000 years by approximately 598 artists. As a national collection, it emphasizes prime examples of work produced by artists from the nation itself, with a representative selection of subjects, forms, styles, materials, and media, spanning the diversity of the nation's artists, their antecedents, and the times and places important to their work. The primary collecting goal for the national museum of wildlife art is the enhancement of the permanent collection through strategic acquisitions ranging from major artworks to supplemental pieces, which will enhance the overall quality as well as diversity of the collection while adding thematic depth and breadth.
