This place is temporarily closed. The City of Tulsa prepares to demolish the current structure and begin construction of a new museum on the same site five minutes from downtown. The current museum structure – a collection of several aging buildings pieced together over many decades – is scheduled to be demolished later this year. Construction of a new structure that can better protect the $2 billion collection and deliver a 21st century visitor experience to Gilcrease visitors will begin in early 2022 and is expected to take 2-3 years. The world's largest collection of art from the American West is housed at this museum, which is also well stocked with Native American artifacts and artwork.
