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.

What to see first? For this MC101, it meant putting
himself on the middle of a cattle herd on the Western frontier.

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 outside
the museum to sort through their field trip assignment notes. |
|
The American West had its share of unsavory
characters. This one looks especially creepy. |
|
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. This MC101 is ready for
his closeup. |
|
At the end of the field trip, MC101s checked in
to get their field trip credit.
