Engaging museum for those who think art is boring and art lovers. Interesting exhibits- beautiful variety of Chihuly pieces , the best museum didactics I have ever read beside the artworks that really engage one in the story of the painting - bordering on gossip, a few edgy exhibits, and my husband’s favorite ( a sports not usually arts guy) was a photography exhibit incorporating viewers of art into photos of paintings in such a way that they “fit” in the paintings. We then had to duplicate the experience with him as the photographer and me next to the incorporated viewer. He thought that was the coolest thing ever. Also the gift shop is wild with vast price points and an experience in itself. We were visiting from Ohio. Definitely worth a stop.
hrobinson1114Stellar. To my surprise, Oklahoma City is home to one of the largest collections of Chihuly glass. And most people are going to be drawn here for the Chihuly pieces. But this is also a very well rounded, yet manageable museum.Chihuly speaks for himself. His pieces are stunning. Gorgeous. Otherworldly. Ethereal. The museum has done a great job of presenting them in such a way that the pieces are augmented by light, shadow, and reflection. Beautiful to behold and also makes for a great photo op.They also have a cool permanent/modern art selection, diverse and intriguing. Artists from all walks of life are represented. I was glad to see black, first Americans, and others represented.Another special exhibit they had, that I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did, centered on Walter Ioos’s work. Ioos (pronounced YOS like dose) has shot some of the most iconic sports images in the late 20th century, as well as the 21st century.I was moved by Hank Aaron’s photo, accompanied by a quote saying that racism carved away a piece of his heart. Muhammad Ali as an older man, pushing his bicycle along on his secluded farm. All well organized and organized into appropriate sections: images of loss, pride, jubilance, determination, and more. This museum also has a great little restaurant/bar and one of the better gift shops I’ve seen (including NYC). The staff is helpful. The gift shop staff were so stylish and cool!Cheap parking close by. My ticket was just over 12 bucks.Stellar.
ems_jlsChihuly fantastic, the rest very good as well If you like Chiluly, this is a must-see. They've just restructured/reopened the Chihuly exhibit as a career retrospective of sorts, with some of his paintings as well as his glass works. And the rest of the museum is interesting as well, for instance a portrait gallery that encompasses many different eras and styles. There is also a gift shop with a nice café within it, and tables outside on a patio.

Very small. Stunned at how truly small the museum is. We went through three levels - legitimately took our time - and were done in less than an hour. Chihuly, some modern art, and a sports photography exhibit and that was it.
HNBISOFFChihuly Permanent Exhibit The museum was excellent. The Oklahoma Art Museum is the site of Chihuly Permanent Exhibit of his glass in the United States. Just step back, relax and tour this wonderful Museum and view Chihuly masterpieces. A wonderful afternoon was enjoyed.
Pamela VChihuly Heaven! A lovely museum on 2 floors with a great collection of mostly American Art. The big surprise was the permanent exhibition of Chihuly glass and art. Room after room. Very impressive. Definitely worth a 2 hour visit.
mtmnj221Nice Museum, compact, easy to navigate They had lots to offer from historical to modern. We enjoyed our walk through of this Art Museum. And especially the Chiluly glass installation.
Leslie DriskillNice museum Great museum with both permanent collections and special events/visiting exhibitions. My daughter and I both love visiting here. The gift shop also has a great selection of gifts.
Anna SA wonderful outing! I viewed the art in the special exhibition; it was wonderful! The museum is just great! Having a cafe at the museum allowed my friends and I a chance to relax, visit, and enjoy some great food and service.
