Wer kennt sie nicht, die tollen Karten mit Western- und anderen Motiven... Wer hat nicht schon über die Missgeschicke der Cowboys gelacht... Ob auf dem Trail oder bei der Cattle Work...

Die Firma LEANIN' TREE gibt diese Karten heraus und hat ihren Sitz in Boulder, Colorado, nur wenige Meilen nordöstlich von Denver.

Was wahrscheinlich nicht so bekannt ist: Leanin' Tree hat in Boulder auch ein tolles Museum  mit diversen, wechselnden Ausstellungen. Das Museum ist einen Besuch wert! Schaut doch mal vorbei...

   

History of the Museum
 
The Leanin’ Tree Museum of Western Art exhibits over 300 original paintings and bronze sculptures from the private collection of Edward P. Trumble, chairman and founder of Leanin’ Tree Inc.

Trumble founded Leanin’ Tree Inc in 1949 as a small company printing Christmas cards with a Western theme, the only company to do so at that time. Through the years, Trumble traveled widely, meeting artists painting the great beauty and history of the American West, and published their works on everyday cards as well as Christmas greeting cards. In 1974, Leanin’ Tree moved into new corporate headquarters and the Leanin’ Tree Museum was established. It exhibits the works that Trumble has collected from these artist friends over the years.

We invite you to come and view this magnificent private collection, unique in that it is the only major collection of privately held works of American Western art that is free and open to the public for viewing.
