Philbrook Museum of Art

Philbrook Museum of Art is one of the most celebrated cultural institutions in the central United States, housed in the stunning 72-room Villa Philbrook originally built in 1927 as the home of oil pioneer Waite Phillips and gifted to the city of Tulsa in 1938. Spanning 25 acres of beautifully manicured Italian, English, and French-inspired gardens, the museum showcases nine world-class collections featuring everything from Native American art and Renaissance paintings to modern and contemporary works. Philbrook serves over 160,000 visitors annually and is committed to making art accessible to all, offering programs like $1 admission through Museums for All and $5 Friday night entry. Voted the most beautiful place in Oklahoma by House Beautiful magazine, it remains a treasured landmark and cultural heartbeat of Tulsa.
