It had been a while since our last visit, and I won't wait so long next time. The museum has remodeled since we were last there and everything feels fresh and updated. The Chihuly exhibit is even better than before, the layout really shows off the glass beautifully. We also enjoyed the Paul Reed exhibit and stopped by the gift shop on the way out, which had lots of great gift ideas. The little patisserie inside was busy and looked like it had a nice selection of coffee, tea, and cocktails. And a great tip: they offer free entry on the second Sunday of every month, which makes it an even better time to visit.

Five stars, just for a magnificent Chihuly exhibit!…read more The Chihuly Exhibit comprises the entirety of the first floor of the museum and it is captivating. Others have shared enough photos that I need not add any additional pictures, but Chihuly makes it easy to understand glassworks as artworks. Simply magical. The second floor of the museum includes a small but engaging selection of European and American art. There are not a lot of immediately recognizable names but what there is, is high quality. It is also interesting to see how a younger museum builds its collection, when the great masters were gobbled up by older institutions. I was happy to see Copley and O'Keefe, among others. The third floor housed a special exhibit of a more contemporary artist. Modern Art is not so much my thing, but the artist did spawn a lot of debate between my son and me over the nature of art, so it had its effect.

This is a small venue which was sold out tonight. I seen something that said 200 capacity but tht would be pretty tight I think. Anyway they had it set up with 5 rows across in front of the stage with anywhere from 12-16 chairs per row. They weren't all the same. Then around tht were round bar top height tables with tall chairs(weren't very comfortable IMO). Behind tht was the sound guy and the snack area. Candy, popcorn, side, water, coffee etc. They also were offering a root beer float which I found odd but hey. Why not. Everything was reasonable. Raised up a bit so they could make a profit but not gouging like some places. The acoustics were decent and the sound didn't overpower. They have shows there most Saturday nights with local talent. Parking is usually 10 bucks in most of the lots but there was a concert at the Paycom arena so parking lots don't mind gouging at it was 20 but if you were going to use one of the city lots with their online pay credit float a loan if you are going to be there for awhile.

I asked an acquaintance that had been here how long it took to fully experience this beautiful…read moremuseum. He said, It depends on whether you're one of those people that read everything or a person that can just read selectively and move along. Of course, that's true of any museum. But hearing it made me think a minute about my motivation. What did I want to get out of my visit? Since I knew I was going to read everything, and it was going to take me hours, I decided to split the museum in half. Easy to do because there are two floors. This visit I'd explore the ground floor. Next visit, upstairs. And that turned out to be an excellent plan. It allowed me the luxury of a leisurely pace and gave me a chance to appreciate not only the exhibits, but the building itself. It's a beautiful building. I like how it looks from a distance, it's an unmistakable point on the horizon as you cruise by on the freeway. And up close it's even more appealing. It's worth taking some time outside before you go in to appreciate the setting and structure. The exhibits inside are outstanding. I particularly loved the Mis/Representation exhibit that highlighted the way images of First Americans have been used in American culture (advertising, movies, etc). Another feature I loved was the presentation of the work of Contemporary First American artists. I'm passionate about textiles and fiber art, and I'm not gonna lie, the beautiful pieces on display here made my tail wag. There was also a really interesting exhibit on Warrior Culture. A fantastic, in depth, examination of what it meant to be a warrior. I just took photos because the exhibit was particularly text rich and too much to digest on the spot. Also, along the way there was a cool exhibit that featured Peace Medals. I had only read of them, it was good to finally see one. My favorite aspect of the First American Museum was the Timeline. This was important to me because I don't know jack about First American History. And this is actually history every American should know. And one of the first important historical facts you are presented with is: This Has Always Been Indian Country. Before colonizers arrived, this was the land of the Apache, Caddo, Tonkawa, and Wichita. The museum honors those as well as all other indigenous peoples that have historical ties to the region, including the Comanche, Kiowa, Osage and Quapaw. Further, it acknowledges that the land the museum was built on was originally assigned to the Muscogee (Creek) and Seminoles. The welcoming exhibit makes an important point. It explains that there are 39 distinct tribal nations in Oklahoma, with individual cultures. Many forceably relocated from ancestral lands all across the United States. And you should know, they're not there by choice. That's heavy. That's something to think about. And that's what 5 Star Museums do. They make you think.

The programming committee does a great job developing a wonderful selection of films, which are then well-organized. You can build your schedule online, and add that directly to the calendar you already use (GCal, Outlook, etc). The films include a wide selection of films by Oklahomans (I think this year there were 27), as well as thought-provoking documentaries, funny narrative features, and a very rich and varied shorts program. This year there were ninety films across five theaters. There are many opportunities to network with filmmakers from all across the country, visiting panelists, and your fellow local film buffs. The parties are legendary - every night of the festival there are at least two fun parties to attend and enjoy. All-access badges are $125, but it's not hard to earn a badge by becoming a volunteer. There are volunteer opportunities throughout the year. There is also a 2-for-1 badge deal when you buy a CityCard, which pays for itself just with the dCFF discount, though there are many other great cultural opportunities within that. Check out Allied Arts for more info on that. There are also a few opportunities to engage in deadCENTER without buying a badge. Every night of the festival, after the sun goes down, there is a free, outdoor screening of a wonderful film. You can pack a picnic and a blanket, and come out and enjoy a movie under the stars,
