We live in Arizona and have seen many southwest collections of American Indian art and artifacts, as well as oils of American landscapes of the early period. The Gilcrease was a surprise in that it contains such a vast collection of important art works of the early history of the USA. The tour guides were very enthusiastic and well informed... More

I am not particularly a fan of western art, but the Gilcrease is worth a visit for the Bierstadt and Moran landscapes if nothing else. There is a gallery downstairs at the back with drawers of native American artifacts, everything from arrowheads to beaded moccasins, that deserved more time than we had to spend in it. A sibling reports that... More

For starters, the grounds were beautiful with great banks of azaleas in full bloom surrounding the parking and entry areas. The western art and history was very interesting and lovely to experience. We spent about 2.5 hours touring

Well worth the visit, this was an astonishing collection of Western Art and Native American Art. The galleries are well lit and give you plenty of room to roam. Super gift shop also. Was pent 2 hours and could have spent more. If the weather cooperates, the gardens are really worth seeing.

Wow! So many paintings and bronzes by Remington and Russell! The sculpture outside the front of the museum is featured on many Oklahoma license plates. There is so much else to see and it is well worth the visit.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised at the quality of art at this museum. A great collection of paintings and sculptures really captures the heart of the West, and includes some interesting western history along with artwork. Particularly impressive was a collection of Remington sculptures. Don't miss this when in the Tulsa area.

The Western art is fabulous and well displayed. We really enjoyed the lower level with the archeological materials available for viewing in a series of drawers. Many museums store their items in storage behing closed doors. We really like the way Gilcrease allows you to see items in storage behind glass or in drawers. Highly recommend this museum for anyone... More
