In 2026, we’re celebrating all things American bison.

Through a series of new exhibitions, displays and programming, the national mammal will take center stage on the National Mall to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

On March 11, three larger-than-life bronze bison statues will undertake a week-long, cross-country stampede from a foundry in Colorado. A gift to the museum by Naoma Tate and the family of Hal Tate, the bronze bison will be installed on a pair of plinths flanking the museum’s main entrance and on view to the public beginning March 19.

Along the way to the nation’s capital, the bison will stop at:

March 11-12 - Denver Museum of Nature & Science in Denver, Colo.

March 14 - University of Nebraska State Museum - Morrill Hall in Lincoln, Neb.

March 15 - The University of Iowa Museum of Natural History in Iowa City, Iowa

March 16-17 - Field Museum in Chicago, Ill.

The arrival of the bronze bison sets the stage for “Bison: Standing Strong,” a new exhibition exploring the enduring cultural and ecological legacy of American bison. Opening May 7, the show will spotlight the complex tale of this remarkable species from ancient times to the present through fossils, mounted specimens, anthropological objects and images of bison-themed items.
