Museum Info

The museum’s interpretive panels and captions explore wolf behavior and biology, dispel myths, and examine wide-ranging perceptions surrounding wolves. At the museum, experience powerful, up-close photography, watch clips from Jim and Jamie Dutchers’ Primetime Emmy award-winning wolf films, and listen to the language of wolves through recordings of the Sawtooth Pack. This exhibit invites visitors to see wolves as they truly are—complex, social, family-animals who educate their young and care for their injured.

An All Ages Experience

The Living with Wolves Museum brings the story of wolves to life for audiences of all ages. Located in Ketchum, Idaho, our museum features immersive exhibits, photography, documentary film, and audio recordings from the Sawtooth Pack, offering a rare window into the lives of wolves. Through the museum, our education programs extend to classrooms and communities through free curriculum resources, live presentations, and outreach designed to dispel myths and inspire curiosity. Together, these efforts are helping to replace fear with understanding, reaching thousands each year and building a foundation for a more informed and compassionate future for wolves.

School Programs

Since opening two and a half years ago, we have welcomed more than 16,500 visitors from Idaho and beyond into the Living with Wolves Museum. This year, we continued to deepen our impact by connecting people with the story of the Sawtooth Pack, offering a powerful lens into the lives of wolves and their capacity for forethought, resilience, and family. Visitors learn little-known wolf facts, how coexistence with ranchers is possible, the impacts of hunting on pack stability, and ways they can support positive change. Our team remains dedicated to countering myths and misinformation while fostering understanding rooted in science and compassion. Steady attendance and an interest in educational programming highlight the museum’s growing role as a trusted regional resource for education and advocacy. We look forward to expanding our reach in the year ahead.

The museum offers experiences for all ages, hosting school field trips, guided adult tours, and community events throughout the year. If you’re in the area, we’d love for you to stop by.
