Small with like 5 windows of exhibits. The gift shop is across the street, and closed almost an hour early today. The guard didnt even know where it was and chatted the entire time to his friend. The building itself is pretty but thats mostly it. Oh yes, and its free! But 2 stars off for closing early and the lack of even knowing where the gift shop was by the employee.

The building alone is a spectacular representation of the Art Deco era, as you walk through these entry ways and hallways you are treated to treasures of the time period. There is also a cute gift shop with a friendly and knowledgeable shop keeper. I don’t know if I’d make a special trip to this location, but if you are in the area, it is a must see!

This was nice to look at architecture and exhibits). I wish it was larger and an actual museum. It would be terrific, and I think it would generate a lot of tourist/tourism to Tulsa. I was raised in Tulsa and think that theres so much that Tulsa can offer, this being one of them. The small exhibits they had were spectacular though! I hope that it becomes something grand and large in the future.

Neat place. Kinda small, but a nice piece of Tulsa history. Its easy to forget that Tulsa was a booming metropolis during the oil boom.

Books, art, local items and novelty. The store hosts a treasure hunt. A cool place to visit while downtown, truly unique. Kid section has many vintage toys. Ice cream sandwiches. Very entertaining shop!

A very cool opportunity to look inside the lobby of an art deco building (make sure to ask to see the inside of the elevator) and see some art deco objects. Free.

Me and the wife and 4 kids visited here for the first time recently. We have always lived in Tulsa but never came here yet mostly because we dont go to downtown much. Very glad we stopped in and took a look. Lots of general collectible items and tourist type merchandise, but also tons of other stuff, including Tulsa memorabilia. This is a must stop for any Tulsan or visitor, so, basically go check this place out if youre breathing and shop local.

Beautiful...a must see for anyone with an interest in Art Deco architecture. Also, go in the Bank of Oklahoma and the Marriott. You can go in just about any of the old buildings and be amazed!

This was one of my favorite places in Tulsa. It was a little hard to find the museum at first because it is actually window displays in the lobby of a building downtown, but it was so much fun to explore the area. If youre here, I highly encourage you to stop at the coffee shop in the lobby for a drink and then pop across the street to the gift shop/bookstore for some ice cream (the mint chocolate chip was devine)!

Free and the lobby of this building and others in the area were great. We ended up contacting a local tour guide for a peronal 2 hour tour of the area to include the art deco Methodist Church.

What an amazing collection of Art Deco in an incredible period building. Inside the store, find great merchandise and even some original pieces for sale! We were fortunate to have met Deco Debby whose collection makes up most of the collection on display. What an honor and pleasure. Go if you are serious about architecture and the Art Deco movement.

Prominent part of the Art deco tour of Downtown Tulsa. The ambience will take you back to the 20s and 30s.

Beautiful displays, just not enough of them! I hope they can open a full museum someday. Also, there is a gift shop, but I have yet to be in the building when its actually open, very limited hours.
