One side of the room, tickets were being handled while in the middle, you get your drinks & then you move over to the other side of the place, that's where all of the food vendors were at (all local & delicious). In the middle of it all, along with a really big staircase, there was a DJ. Upstairs (during Big Bite) there was an exhibition with all kind of art displays & art installations. There was a great view from up top, especially while I was checking out Tulsa Tough. An all day event that ended with a concert featuring Sports, a band that I listen to heavy. That was in 2023, fast forward to now, there was an exhibition I visited that was hosted by BZRO & it consisted of his denim work & the history of denim. There was even an element of where you can interact with a machine that does the weaving. It was interesting learning the process of making pants & how denim was centuries ago compared to present time.

I've been looking forward to this museum opening since it was announced in 2009. While not very…read morevisually appealing on the outside, I'm excited about the vision to highlight Oklahoma artists and their influence through movies, radio, tv, books, theater, etc. Last I heard, they're hoping to open at the end of 2024, but they have already started hosting events at their facilities. Their staff has been in the building since 2021. They recently had a display honoring James Garner, an actor from Norman. Blake Shelton has been helping them raise money needed to finish the exhibit design, construction and installation. I hope they're able to reach their goal and I look forward to seeing it in its completion.

So much history and interesting information this place holds! This is Frank Phillips home who started up conoco Philips. Not only is his very charming log cabin open for viewing but you also have everything from an animal kid petting zoo to his airplanes and guns on display while giant bears etc are throughout the museum part as well. They put on a kids fest event every year in late June. They bring in vendors and put up inflatables , face painting, pony rides, foam parties , make your own necklaces etc. all of this is free and no extra fee just regular admission cost. Another thing they do is during the holidays they have a lights festival which appears to be just beautiful .

This past weekend, we stopped by to have a picnic lunch. Besides the artisan tables you see from the highway, there are two different covered picnic areas in the back. After our lunch we really looked around the place, walking inside the giant totem pole and visiting Galloway's workshop (open most days). The volunteer working was so informative and I will stop again just to revisit this museum. Galloway was definitely an eccentric and creative genius. This is a great place to stop with pets (even though they aren't allowed in the workshop/museum. There is a large area behind the park for running.

The grounds are simple but well worth a quick visit if you're in the area. They do have a cute little gift shop, which adds to the experience, but unfortunately the service wasn't great. I had my 2 year old son with me, and the woman working there told me it's not a place for kids, which felt pretty off putting. Overall, it's a neat and interesting place to check out, just maybe be prepared for a less-than welcoming experience in the shop.

The gift shop had so many cute and unique items, and we couldn't leave without stopping by the Wildflower Café. Their lemonade was amazing! Such a wonderful experience.

It gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation for the strength and resilience of the community. This museum is a must-see for anyone visiting the Tulsa area.
