The Gilcrease Museum sits on a wooded hill on the north side of Tulsa, Oklahoma, at 1400 North Gilcrease Museum Road. It is also known by its formal name, the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, and it is devoted to the art and artifacts of the American West.
What you will see
The museum holds what is described as the largest collection of art and artifacts of the American West. Visitors can expect:
- Paintings and sculptures by Frederic Remington and Charles Russell, two artists closely associated with the western frontier
- An extensive collection of Native American art and objects
- Artifacts that trace the history of the American West and the people who lived there
Planning your visit
The museum suits anyone interested in American history, Western art, or Native American cultures, and it makes a full morning or afternoon outing. Its hilltop setting gives the grounds a quiet, open feel, a pleasant contrast to the galleries inside.
