Gilcrease Museum

Tuesday, 2 August 2011

1st Tuesday every month, so it was free admission. We are grateful to save $13. We got there about 3:30pm and so had only 1-1/2 hours to see what is inside the Gilcrease Museum (1400 North Gilcrease Museum Road, Tulsa, OK 74127).

Beautiful paintings and sculptures. We got to see 3 exhibitions:
(1) "Perfectly American: The Art-Union and Its Artists", displayed from July 24 through October 2, 2011.
(2) "America: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of a Nation", displayed from June 26, 2010 through January 2, 2012.
(3) "To Capture the Sun: Gold of Ancient Panama", displayed from June 19, 2011 to January 15, 2012.

Like many museums, photography and videography are not allowed inside.

I am sharing with you 2 pictures of the bronze sculpture called "Sacred Rain Arrow" by Allan Houser, and it is located right in front of the Gilcrease Museum entrance. Wish that archer could shoot the sky and bring rain now to this city and state. It has been hot hot hot.



Nice landscape. I am sure it would be more beautiful in Spring when the flowers are blooming.
