The museum's primary function is to display the artwork of Great Falls "cowboy artist" Charles Marion Russell, for whom the museum is named. The museum also displays illustrated letters by Russell, work materials used by him, and other items which help visitors understand the life and working habits of Russell.

The house and log cabin studio were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
