Great 12 dollars for so much art & a gorgeous garden
Beautiful museum and grounds. I lucked out and visited in early/mid April when the tulips were at their most impressive and colorful. This venue is manageable in size, but wonderful in variation. They had classical art, religious art, indigenous art, African sculpture and masks. They had wonderful exhibits on black history and black Wall Street, as well as large scale pieces by black artists. And these pieces had their own thoughtful rooms and displays; they were not afterthoughts, as in some museums. They also had modern paintings and sculptures. Architecture here is also worth viewing and photographing. Great restaurant on site for brunch/lunch/breakfast (reviewed separately). Tickets were 12 dollars. Well worth it for the depth and breadth of the art, the beauty of the gardens, and a leisurely meal at a nice restaurant.

Don't go too late in the day
We had a nice time at the museum. I was a little shocked at how gaudy the house was inside. The gardens were beautiful. The art itself was very nice and the museum is not so big that you are overwhelmed. We have a membership at our local botanical garden and this got us into the Philbrook for free as a reciprocal member. Great deal! We went on a Sunday, which was good, but we went about 2pm. After we toured the museum, we wanted a cold drink and the cafe closes at 3pm, so we missed our chance. Plan your time wisely.
