“Medora: Artist. Heiress. Bear Hunter. Namesake of a Wild West Town,” a free exhibition featuring 26 original artworks, opened to the public today at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum in Bismarck.

Artist Medora Manca (1856-1921) is best known as the namesake of the 1883 western North Dakota boomtown founded by her French husband, the Marquis de Morès. While here, the accomplished artist painted beautiful watercolors of the area’s Badlands. The paintings are accompanied by photographs and personal affects from her time in the Badlands, including her riding habit and portable outdoor painting studio. The couple’s hunting lodge is now Chateau de Morès State Historic Site.

“Medora: Artist. Heiress. Bear Hunter. Namesake of a Wild West Town” runs through March 2026 in the Governors Gallery. The ND Heritage Center & State Museum is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is free. Find upcoming events at history.nd.gov/events.
