First Americans Museum, Native American cultural museum in Oklahoma City, United States.
The First Americans Museum is a large exhibition space in Oklahoma City dedicated to Native American history and cultures. Inside, spacious galleries display objects, artworks, and multimedia presentations that explore the lives and experiences of the tribes who have made Oklahoma their home.
The museum opened in 2021 and honors the long histories of 39 Native American nations that have made Oklahoma their home. The institution was created to tell and preserve these stories in one central place.
The galleries showcase how Native American communities in Oklahoma live today, blending traditional practices with contemporary daily life. Visitors encounter real artwork, crafts, and personal stories that reflect the current experiences of the people whose nations call this place home.
The building houses a theater for screenings, a restaurant serving Indigenous cuisine, and a gift shop with handmade items by local artists. Plan to spend several hours exploring the exhibition spaces, as there is extensive content to discover.
The building's design integrates traditional Native American architectural elements with Oklahoma's natural landscape. This approach makes the structure itself a cultural statement, reflecting the connection between the tribes and their land.
