Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, Art museum in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art is an art museum in Shawnee that houses more than 3,500 artifacts from different parts of the world. The collection spans about 8,000 years of human history, from ancient civilizations to European modern works.

Benedictine monk Father Gregory Gerrer founded the museum in 1919 after traveling widely through Europe, Africa, and South America to collect art. His passion for gathering objects from different continents shaped what the museum became.

The museum displays Egyptian mummies, Greek sculptures, Roman artifacts, Native American objects, African ceremonial items, and European paintings from different periods. These works show how various cultures expressed themselves through art across centuries.

The museum stands on the former St. Gregory's University campus, which was announced in June 2024 to be returning to the monks of St. Gregory's Abbey; the museum operated independently and stayed open through the campus closure. Look for the "Trinity Eagle" sculpture by G. Patrick Riley and Glen Henry, erected in front of the building in 2022. The 1990 addition expanded the museum's educational programming.

The museum holds Oklahoma's only Egyptian mummies, two of them, including a woman named Tutu. In 2015 St. Anthony Hospital in Shawnee CT-scanned both; the images showed Tutu's organs had each been mummified separately and placed back inside her chest and stomach cavity before wrapping. The pair had first been X-rayed at the same hospital in 1991.
