If you love art or a student of art then you'll love this place. The only thing though sometimes they'll have free days and thats when EVEYONE takes their kids their. And while we were their, we leaqrned that if you get their early stay their until their open, because they have marathon of runners closing down a road that blocked us off,lol!

I have visited the grounds before, but this was the first visit inside. I went with my son and daughter in law while they were here from out of state. I was enlightened by the diversity of art and exhibits to see. But I think my aww moments were the architecture of the building itself. Well worth the time and fee! I will go back and take my husband next time.

We happened to visit Philbrook on "2nd Saturday" which had the advantage of free admission...and the disadvantage of crowds. It still was pleasant, and, despite it being a short visit, we were pleased and impressed by the art works we saw. I hope for a return visit, perhaps on a weekday.

This museum is a beautiful representation of "old Tulsa". It is set in midtown where you will be amount beautiful homes and estates. The museum itself has beautiful grounds along with wonderful artwork from around the world. A very nice piece of culture right in the middle of town.

As a Tulsa resident, I have visited Philbook infrequently since the 1980's. I was first there with my grade school children and back from time to time during the holidays. Most recently I visited with my youngest daughter and her children, my 14 and 11 year old granddaughters. Both the kids are very much into art, but in very different ways. All four of us enjoyed a relaxing Sunday visit browsing the exhibits and catching up on the history of the facility built during the oil boom days of Tulsa.

The museum & grounds are a trip to the opulent early oil boom days when building your own Italian Villa was a sign you were one of the top oil Barons Collections of art were wonderfully diverse and fit the villa. With travel west it was only natural to collect Native American art if you're lucky you could catch a marvelous traveling exhibitionThe formal gardens mirrored the Italian symmetry and the newly expanded grounds make for wonderful walks in the spring and fallOverall a delightful afternoon

Built on a spacious formal garden by one of Tulsa's original oil baron's, this museum rivals those found in the major cities of the U.S. and even Europe. The displays are exquisite. The docents are extremely knowledgeable. We were told ahead of time to book brunch at the museum and it was a fitting start to a wonderful experience.

We love to visit the Philbrook at Christmas :) They always have a fun CHRISTmas tree exhibit! Of course the gardens are especially gorgeous during the summer!

I have been going to Philbrook for years and always enjoy my visit. I became a member this year and it is worth supporting such a fine museum. Philbrook is very active in the community and encourages all ages to enjoy art.

Over the years I have been to Philbrook many times for events ranging from exhibits to wine tastings. Every time I am amazed at the place. It has such a wonderful feel to it and the exhibits are always top notch. I look forward to taking my mother to the Festival of Trees every Christmas season. Always interesting to see how everyone decorates their trees.

The Philbrook's collection is somewhat limited but what they do have is very nice. One of the main draws are the interactive events and community classes they offer. As far as setting, the Philbrook has one of the most beautiful outdoor sites I've seen. Be sure to bring your camera!

Philbrook is simply top-notch on so many levels. The collections and traveling exhibits are on par with the finest museums in big cities and the architecture and grounds are spectacular.Two campuses - the one on South Rockford is set in an italianate villa and the one "on the Green" in the Brady Arts District houses the Barnes collection as well as contemporary exhibits.

Love the museum and that I can comfortably bring my kids to enjoy it. I enjoy the springtime second Saturday's as well because my kids can run throught the gardens, do the scavenger hunt & enjoy rolling down the big hill. Wonderful.

The white river fish market is a great place to eat sea food.There sea bass is some of the best I have ever eaten and im from NJ and I have always had great sea food.The place isn't the fanciest place you will ever eat.There is a smell that is distinct but when you are around fresh take out seafood your gonna have it.If not I would be questioning why it didn't have a fresh seafood smell.The people are friendly and will go out of there way to see you have what you need.i recommend eating here to anyone traveling looking for good quality sea food.
