Reading and art enthusiasts are invited to join the Museum Book Club at OKCMOA! The Museum Book Club encourages visitors to engage with major special exhibitions by reading and discussing a specially selected book with Museum educator, Tori Waldron.
Each of the Book Club meetings begins with refreshments, including a themed snack and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, then Book Club members will partake in a guided discussion of the literature and the displayed art in our galleries.
Book Club meetings will take place once per quarter as new exhibitions open. Registration is limited!
