We were not planning on stopping in Klamath Falls, but a trusted friend told us to check out this private museum and we were glad to have followed her advice. Half the venue is dedicated to "western art" but they were in the midst of prepping for a new show so it was temporarily off-limits; this was fine, really, because I'm not a big fan of themed art -- though, some of the paintings I saw were rather good. The other half of the museum is Native American Artifacts, of which they have an astonishing collection, all of it nicely presented. Klamath Falls was home to many tribes for as much as 11,000 years so this region (once abundantly stocked with fish, as well as Native Americans) has yielded a trove of materials. The arrow-points and spear-points alone are breathtaking. One of the museum walls is thoroughly composed of the stone mortars, pestles and metates which they dug up JUST ON THIS SITE when they were building the museum itself! The exhibits are informative and sensitively described, including some typos and howlers, so I felt I learned quite a bit just in the hour or so we spent here. I would append a photo or two, but photography was not permitted.

Impressive
Great art museum with work of area artists on display. The Native American artifacts section was awesome. I learned so much about how area cultures lived off the land. Staff were extremely gracious and informative. Great location between the Link River/Nature Trail/downtown Klamath Falls. Our visit was cut short and we plan to visit again when we return to Klamath Falls.

The strength of the Favell Museum is the number of artifacts. The weakness is the gross lack of provenance or context for understanding the artifacts: Documentation is mostly absent, and the collections lack coherence.

Well worth the visit for Native American artifacts
It fairly large museum on native American artifacts. It also has many paintings that are for sale. We thought it was well worth visiting.

So Much to See!
Many, many artifacts to see and read about. It was very interesting to read about the various tribes found in the west and the differences in their skills and artistry. Plan on at least 90 mins and it’s worth your time if you’re interested in PNW native history and artifacts.
