OKLAHOMA HALL OF FAME Located in the historic and classically styled Mid-Continent Life Insurance Building, the Gaylord-Pickens Museum tells the story of Oklahoma by highlighting the stories of great Oklahomans. The museum contains portraits of Hall of Fame inductees, as well as collections of documents that tell their stories. A “Makerspace” encourages hands-on activities, and the entire structure is designed to be an immersive, educational experience.
OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER This 18-acre complex is a well-designed, multisensory historical experience that chronicles the story of Oklahoma via five galleries. The 215,000-square-foot space uses audio, visual and computer-assisted activities to share the history of Oklahoma from a diverse group of perspectives. More than 2,000 artifacts are contained in the center, including Native American and military artifacts, photographs, textiles and machinery.
