Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Art museum at University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, United States.
The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art is an art museum located on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, housing over 20,000 objects across approximately 40,000 square feet of exhibition space. The collection spans French Impressionist paintings, Native American artworks, ceramics, and contemporary Asian pieces.
The institution was founded in 1936 as Oklahoma University Museum of Art and received a new building in 1971 to better house its growing collection. A second major expansion came in 2011 with the addition of the Stuart Wing, significantly increasing exhibition capacity.
The museum displays French Impressionist paintings, American art from the twentieth century, and traditional Native American works alongside contemporary Asian pieces. These collections reflect the diverse artistic traditions that have shaped visual culture across different regions and time periods.
The museum sits on the university campus and is easily accessible on foot if you are already in the area. Plan to spend several hours exploring the galleries, particularly if specific art periods or cultural traditions interest you most.
The museum houses the Weitzenhoffer Collection, acquired in 2000, which features works by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Edgar Degas. This collection is considered one of the most substantial private holdings of Impressionist art located outside major art centers.
