Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art (also known by its acronym, PGSMA) is an art museum located at 1400 First Avenue North in Great Falls, Montana, in the United States. The building was constructed in 1896 to house the city's first high school, Great Falls High School (later known as Great Falls Central High School). The high school moved to new quarters in 1931, at which time the building was renamed Paris Gibson Junior High School. The junior high school vacated the premises in 1975 for a new building. In 1977, Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art was formed, and it took ownership of the building. It is one of six museums in the city. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 1976. The museum focuses primarily on contemporary art by artists from the region. Much of its collection consists of folk art, abstract art, postmodern art, and functional artwork such as jewelry. In addition to two floors of galleries, the museum also hosts an outdoor sculpture garden. The structure should not be confused with the Roman Catholic parochial school also named Great Falls Central High School. This Catholic school opened in 1950 at 2400 Central Avenue.〔("Parochial High School." ) ''Life.'' January 18, 1954, p. 63-64, accessed 2013-01-09; Small, p. 68-69.〕 It closed in 1973, and the public school system purchased the building in 1975.〔The Catholic school system in the city of Great Falls did not have a high school after 1973 until Great Falls Central Catholic High School opened in the fall of 2001. The new GFCCHS was housed at the University of Great Falls until fall 2007, when it moved into its own building at 2800 18th Avenue South. See: Johnson, Peter.

"Middle School Transition Has Happy Ending." ''Great Falls Tribune.'' October 10, 2006.〕 Paris Gibson Education Center, an alternative high school, opened in the building in 2007. This building also houses Paris Gibson Middle School Academy, a program for at-risk students.〔Cates, Kristen. "Students Using High-Tech Devices to Map River's Edge Trail Donations."
