Philbrook Museum of Art, Art museum in Tulsa, United States.
The Philbrook Museum of Art is an art museum housed in a 72-room mansion with marble-stucco exterior walls and limestone trim. The building stands on landscaped grounds designed as formal gardens similar to Italian Renaissance estates.
An Oklahoma oil industrialist gave his house to Tulsa in 1938 as a gift. The museum opened a year later for public use.
The collections represent American, European, African, and Asian creators. Sections devoted to Native American work such as baskets, pottery, and jewelry show how different traditions shaped artistic expression.
The grounds are walkable, with paths through gardens and around the main building. Wear comfortable shoes since there are many stairs and walking trails to explore.
The gardens span an extensive property and include not just plantings but also outdoor art installations. This green setting allows visitors to find artworks beyond the indoor galleries.
