OKC Art

Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA) in Oklahoma City,  OK-


If you weren't sure where this museum is located, I think you have a pretty good idea after reading the opening line.
 
Three floors of fascination house five centuries of permanent art including European and American. As if this isn't enough, there is the Samuel R. Noble Theater showing all types of films Thursday through Sunday. How about a full service restaurant/café for brunch, lunch and dinner with dining and music on the roof 's terrace, available when weather permits. From educational to just interesting, the museum gift store has lots of gadgets plus tee-shirts and refrigerator magnets. The museum school teaches classes for all ages including drawing, painting, photography and how to blow glass!

Speaking of glass, here are some shots I took of the wonderful Dale Chihuly glass collection. (No flash photography is permitted, but it is fine to take pictures so long as you don't pop a flash.) While pictures can't capture the full beauty of these exhibits, if you are in the area, please make a point of stopping by the OKC Museum of Art. It will remind you of the beauty man is capable of creating.
