    Nice collection of artifacts from native Americans from all over the west. The western art collection is also quite nice. The most arrowheads I have ever seen.

    This is a gem. A wealth of high quality items beautifully displayed. If you are cool to museums, you'll easily spend an hour without boredom. If you love history, paintings, ancient technology, cultural artifacts, sculpture, ... they'll have to pitch you out when they close. Admission (2023): $10, or $9 for kids, seniors, veterans. Plentiful free parking. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.

    An almost overwhelming collection of Native American and Western artifacts and history! Must see!

    Best displayed collection that I know of (private or tax payer funded) in the U.S. Collection extends far beyond the Klamath basin. There are arrowheads, grinding stones, baskets, beads and other lithic artifacts from the Columbia River California, Nevada and Beyond! For anyone with even a basic interest in Native American art and artifacts, this museum is a must! Their collection of miniature Firearms is excellent as well.

    I drove to Klamath Falls to view the huge collection of Native American artifacts from the America's. The arrowheads and points collection includes the Clovis Points that dated back 13,500 years. The pottery collections are also very old and includes a number of tribes such as the Zuni and Anasazi. You find exhibits on the Couger Mountain and Nicolarsen Caves artifacts that date back to more then 12,000 years. The local tribes of the Nortwest include face masks from the Coastal areas, tools, and necklaces. Photos are not allowed to taken in the exhibit area. Located on West Main Street across the river from downtown Klamath Falls. A great place to spend the day viewing Western Art from artists such as C. M. Russell, a great miniature gun collection, Inca Textiles, and the huge Native American collection.

    Fantastic collection of Native artifacts and history, as well as a great art gallery. Absolutely worth the visit!

    I visited Favell in 1991 and 1992. Not sure of dates. Many years ago. Was wonderful!! My most memorable memory was of the tiny gun collection. And the ancient arrowheads. The entire museum is extraordinary!! And I have visited many museums, in different states. I purchased a tall, gorgeous, SOUTHWESTERN style, color, vase. Glad you are still open for each new generation to appreciate.

    Beautiful, quiet and great to fill your hunger knowledge.

    Great museum, possibly underrated. Has a great little firearm collection, displays tell stories of indigenous tribes’s history and culture and more. Only on 1 floor, I think a art gallery is on the floor above.

  • 5/5 Tom C. 5 years ago on Google
    WOW! Even after reading the great reviews here, I was still blown away. There must have been at least a thousand different arrowheads. And so much more to see. Native American artifacts from Alaska to Peru. US western artifacts. And art (both old & new) of the above. Expect to take about 2 hours to see everything. Would love it if they offered guided tours. I had so many questions. I will go again if I'm in the area.

    The artifacts are the best of those collected from First Americans' settlements. Combined with some of the finest paintings I've ever seen they give an authentic flavor of life for these native tribes and the horrors they suffered by the white man's gun. The paintings are so detailed and realistic that each one is mesmerizing. Also lots of extraordinary sculpture and other collections, as well as videos of The Modoc War, pottery, basket weaving, and a first class gift shop at the front. The place is SO worth a visit.

    It was OK, kind of small. Mostly pictures, arrowheads, and even an art exhibit of people wearing Sari's and Indian clothes from India, (the country), not sure what that had to do with Klamath county, but they were all for sale. Not a very interesting place imo.

    Beautiful artifacts and collections of Western and Native history.

  • 1/5 Faye K. 3 years ago on Google
    Would give it a zero if possible. It is nothing more than an overpriced art gallery and half of it was empty. The very few actual exhibits are largely from out of state "artifacts". Had a few beautiful wood sculptures but since no photos are allowed I can't show you or tell you the artists. They charged $7 per person for something that took 5 minutes to walk through and left you very underwhelmed. The Klamath County Museum was so much better.

    Very nice place to know more about Indian culture and their past, as well as Indian art gallery. Zach who works there is a nice guy who is willing to answer your question. Recommend highly to those ppl who are interested in history.

  • 5/5 Maria P. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow, this museum is great. Tons of one of a kind artifacts. The staff is great and friendly. It's a little spendy but well worth it. If you can only go to one museum go to this one.

👍 Nice large facility with lots of parking. The field 3 where we played had no grass, only dirt surrounding it, so wind and facility vehicles stirred up a lot of dirt. Bathrooms were clean. There was a snack bar and food truck.
