Roger Tory Peterson Institute

The Roger Tory Peterson Institute (RTPI) is a museum and nature center located in Jamestown, New York, United States. It is dedicated to advancing the public understanding of natural history through the intersection of art, science, and conservation. The institute houses the largest collection of works by naturalist and artist Roger Tory Peterson (1908–1996), including original paintings, drawings, manuscripts, and films.
