The Autry National Center is
an appropriate place for a Mass Comm 101 field trip. It compares the
media version of the American West with the actual West.

This exhibit sought to depict saloon life as it
actually was versus how it is portrayed in the movies. These MC101s are
in front of an actual 19th Century bar called the Los Angeles Bar.

These MC101s found a quiet corner
of the museum to sort through their field trip assignment notes. |
|
The American West had its share of unsavory
characters. These MC101s experience the Old West version of a "time out." |
|
The American West was a more diverse place than was typically depicted in classic Western entertainment. This dragon was part of an exhibit on the Chinese community in Los Angeles. |
|
Part of the museum was about the American
West and how it has been portrayed in the movies. These MC101s are looking
at an exhibit set on a western-style main street. |

At the end of the field trip, MC101s checked
in to get their field trip credit.
