Ride 'Em Cowboy!

Join Smithsonian American Art Museum director Elizabeth Broun on a virtual tour of Vaquero, a sculpture by Luis Jiménez.

Even though the Smithsonian American Art Museum is closed for renovation, you can still enjoy seeing Vaquero in Washington, D.C. It sits right outside the museum's entrance at 9th and G Streets, N.W., and remains on view while the museum is closed.

If you can't see this vibrant sculpture in person, learn more about it in this Director's Choice tour.

Other works by Luis Jiménez are on view in our traveling exhibition Arte Latino: Treasures from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, currently showing at the El Paso Museum of Art in Texas.
