Osage Nation Museum

The Osage Nation Museum is a tribal museum in Pawhuska that presents extensive collections of traditional clothing, photographs, artworks, and historical artifacts. The exhibits document the life and cultures of the Osage people across multiple centuries.

Tribal leaders decided in the 1920s to gather and preserve material objects and artworks for future generations. The museum was founded to centralize this collection and make it accessible to the public.

The collection displays clothing, jewelry, and personal items from different periods that reflect how the Osage people lived across generations. Visitors can see how traditional craftsmanship and design elements were passed down through families.

The museum welcomes visitors during daytime hours on certain weekdays and sits in a building on Grandview Avenue. Plan enough time to explore all the exhibition rooms and take photographs.

The building itself was originally constructed as a schoolhouse and later transformed to house the expanding collection. This architectural repurposing shows how the space adapted to community needs over time.
