Absolutely beautiful historic building with a wonderful collection representing Oklahomans who have contributed to the betterment of the world in a variety of capacities from sports, entertainment, civil rights, medicine, education & business.
Every inductee has their portrait or picture somewhere throughout the museum with their name, City & general contribution plus the year inducted into the Oklahoma Hall Of Fame. I think an added touch would be a longer synopsis of what each person did in more detail but I’m the curious type of person that will look them up to find out more information 👍🏻
There is an art gallery where the artist exhibits rotate periodically. The current exhibit “Spirit Of Color”, just started and runs to April 30th, 2020. Beautiful art that you can contact the museum about purchasing the items.
Originally built in 1926 for the Mid-Continental Life Insurance Company. I love that every door handle still contains the Mid-Continental emblem. The building is absolutely gorgeous, grand staircases on every floor & marble everywhere! You can even rent the location for private events & weddings. Unique venue with lots of beautiful photo opportunities.
This was my second time here. It’s a nice way to spend an hour or two...
Read moreStately carved stone building, the MidContinent Life Insurance property has come to life again, with dedicated use as a free standing museum, honoring creativity in Oklahoma. Dually prepared by the Gaylord and Pickens families, this building has it's own collections which span electronic projections to live demonstrations to exhibits. It also has visiting exhibits, dedicated to varied related topics. So far, my favorite activity was the youth creative day, which allowed for performing artists, visual artists and those creating materials to come together for a day of kids celebrating kids. This includes an art show and sale, where the vendors are the youth from gradeschool to highschool ready to answer your questions and explain their work, techniques or use of product. This group also offers scholarships and other community activities year round. The spectrum of the celebrated runs from Wayne Coyne to Kate Barnard and about everything in between you can imagine. Also, the intact office for MidContinent a joy. :) along with behind the scenes info on renovations for this. This is a busy facility for weddings, and also for banquets and other...
