This is small but full of beautiful and interesting artifacts. From mummies to modern arts to shrunken heads. There is a nominal fee worth paying.

We visited with the grandsons a few weeks ago and also met up with an old friend while in town as well. A great place to take in some amazing history.

I was simply amazed at the quality of the collection. Not to mention the level of diversity. The fact that all of the items were collected in the early part of the 20th century speaks volumes about the sensitivity and foresight of the collector himself. Only a small percent is on display which means I’ll have to make my way back in the future. I look forward to many repeat trips.

Cant believe I didnt know this amazing hidden treasure was here. They offer a great deal of events that are open to the community. Their staff are extremely friendly. Even when I attended a highlighted exhibit lecture and was considerably underdressed. No one said a thing and they made sure to welcome me and make me feel apart of the group and invited me back.Personally this is the best museum in Oklahoma and I love going to museums.

This is a hidden jewel in the middle of Oklahoma! Lots of beautiful art, and the mummies are so interesting. They have a scavenger/ code game to play that draes the kids attention to various items. Admission was free the day we visited, how can you beat that?

I am not sure how I have never been here before, it is a small museum but it is great. We visited right as they were opening and the gentleman working the front desk was very nice and welcoming. All the exhibits were well displayed and informative. There is a game you can play that teaches you about the art and artifacts that my daughter really enjoyed. Will be back when the featured exhibit changes.

I was astonished by the diversity and quality of the collection, especially in a small town in oklahoma. The museum is quite small, but they have rotating exhibits, so something new can always be on display. The most interesting exhibit to me was the sarcophagi from Egypt, which in itself was amazing that it was privately collected.

For the size of the museum, it is FULL of great pieces both historic and modern. They also have an area for the kids to make their own art and learn something. When my kids and I went, they had prisms there that they could shine light through.

Pleasantly surprised by both the antiquity and modernity of the exhibitions. Will miss the university and, sadly, the museum, as well. Has been a much-needed, arts and humanities contributor locally.
