Description
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.
History
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.
