We were amazed at the beauty of the Chihuly exhibit. It is absolutely breathtaking. Dale Chihuly is an incredible talent. This is an exhibit we would reccomend to anyone visiting OKC. We also visited the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum and the OKC National Memorial. All were very worthwhile and memorable. Chuck and JJ Frambes Clifton, Texas
A nice bit of culture in an otherwise bland city. Be sure and check out the usually excellent temporary exhibitions, art-house movies and the outstanding cafe. The permanent collection is well worth seeing but don't expect the types of masterworks in the top museums. I like the new building and location that shows that the museum is making significant strides. One more thing, be sure and indulge in the rooftop bar on Thursday nights during the warm season. The view is great.
The Dale Chihuly exhibit is a 'must see' for anyone - whether you are into art or not, its a phenomenal exhibit that anyone can enjoy, young or old...and I think the OKC Art museum is an overall great place to see some real treasures...this is not a stuffy old museum, this is an OKC hot spot!
The Oklahoma Museum of Art is a must for anyone visiting the downtown area. The museum showpiece is the beautiful glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly that graces the entry. OMA is the home of the largest Chihuly collection in the world. The museum also features a great gift shop and the Museum Cafe offers a wonderful menu in a relaxing atmosphere.
