Osage Nation Museum

The Osage Nation Museum presents extensive collections of traditional clothing, photographs, art pieces and historical artifacts representing Osage culture through multiple generations.

The museum opened its doors in May 1938 following the efforts of Osage Tribal Councilman John Joseph Mathews to establish a central repository for tribal materials.

The permanent collection includes the substantial John L Bird Collection, acquired by the Osage Council in 1927, featuring materials gathered since 1883.

Located at 819 Grandview Avenue, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission.

The institution holds the distinction of being the first tribally-operated museum in the United States, maintaining its original mission since establishment.
