If you don't stop in Oklahoma City for any other reason, make it a point to visit the Oklahoma City Museum of Art's Dale Chihuly Glass Collection.  In the words of the youngest member of our group who had to be dragged along, "Awesome!  This is the most beautiful thing I've every seen."

This Dale Chihuly Collection was created for the opening of the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and was purchased for the permanent collection in 2004.

 

The museum has a very nice gift shop and an excellent cafe though our service was terrible:

  • One member of our party received her meal after the rest of us were done - we don't think her order was turned in to the kitchen with the rest.
  • One of us did not receive the meal she ordered.
  • We were given the wrong check.

 

 

 BOOKS

I love coffee table / art collection books because they're full of beautiful, inspiring things.  Chihuly Projects, by Dale Chihuly, is mouthwateringly inspiring.  And it's just one of many books featuring the author's projects in glass.  See Amazon links below.  Nancy

If a book you're looking for is out of print, click on any link to Amazon Books Home Page, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, or Alibris to find out if it is available as a used book.

4/14/07 Update: Cary and I stopped by the museum to take in a special exhibit on Napoleon.

I had to sign a camera waiver, which I've never come across in a museum before, but this is probably the wave of the future.

The Napoleon presentation was first class though some of the exhibits were second rate.  Still, seeing the possessions of a giant of history is always a worthwhile experience.

Also, we found out "free" parking on the weekends means "they" don't check the meters on Saturday to see if they, the meters, have expired!
