The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, also known as MGMoA, is a museum in Shawnee, Oklahoma, on West MacArthur Drive. Its address places it in Shawnee, although the facts given list the state as Kansas; the postal address shown is in Oklahoma, so visitors should confirm the location before setting out.
What you will see
The collection is broad in its span. It moves from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary works, so a single visit can take in objects from very distant periods and then turn to art made much closer to our own time. For visitors who enjoy comparing across eras, that range is the main draw.
The building
The museum is housed in a distinctive, castle-like building. Even before going inside, the architecture makes the visit feel like an event, and it is worth allowing time to look at the exterior as well as the galleries.
