LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The Great Plains Art Museum’s first exhibition of the year will feature 19th-century engravings of wildlife that roamed the American plains.

The museum announced that “Denizens: Wildlife on the Western Frontier,” will open Friday with a reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The exhibition includes vintage engravings from 1770 to 1902 that show different aspects of humans’ relationship with bears, bison, elk, antelope, wolves, cougars, eagles, osprey and feral horses. The show includes artists Frederic Remington, George Catlin, Karl Bodmer, Alfred Jacob Miller, John James Audubon and William de la Montagne Cary.

The Great Plains Art Museum in downtown Lincoln is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
