The Restaurant At Gilcrease

Amazing and extensive native American collection, from points and simple tools to magnificent bead work on their clothing . Lots of old west artwork and other international art as well. Great prices, smaller, intimate rooms with a casual yet elegant feel that allows a great experience, beautiful grounds; well maintained and gorgeous, recommend for adults and family!. worth the trip!!

Funday Sundsy saw the museum hopping with families enjoying the free admission and superb extra activities. It was great to see so many kids with corn-shhuck dolls that they had made with the assistance of docents, University of Tulsa students, and native American volunteers. The Dorothea Lange's America and Bob Dylan exhibits were well worth the time. The gift store also offers great memory preservers.

Very nice museum and worth a visit. Artifact room on lower level has more artifacts than you could look at in a day with a wonderful interactive e-guided tour via a tablet you can carry with you as you go through this section. Upstairs has visiting exhibits and some wonderful bronze work by artists such as Remington. There are wonderful paintings and the gardens are beautiful and peaceful. Great place to spend a morning or afternoon. The current Pulitzer prize exihbit is very intense, you might not want to take small children through it. But do see it. It will move you.

Aside from the Philbrook, the Gilcrease Museum is another epochal location in Tulsa that must be visited by art-lovers. It may not be as resplendent as the Villa Philbrook - like the cover of a book - it's what's on the inside that counts. My family and I began at the Gilcrease restaurant. It wasn't busy at all, which was fortunate. I ordered the chicken tenders, grilled vegetables, and mashed potatoes and gravy. It had a fancier name and description. The lunch was good, however the breading coating the chicken was excessively thick and crunchy. The real star of the restaurant was the triple chocolate torte. Fantastic! Afterward we finally trekked through the museum; taking in the paintings, sculptures, and other various artifacts. My favorite collection was the mask and hand molds created of Abraham Lincoln. The bronze sculptures were also fascinating.
