The Philbrook museum has been an amazing and inspiring building to me since I was young. My mother would take me there to see their large collection of art pieces with diverse narratives within them, but I always thought that the building itself had such an interesting story. It is so interesting that this was the former home of an oil pioneer (Waite Phillips) who commissioned architect Edward Buehler Delk to design it.

I have always admired the twisted columns and intricate ceilings that were inspired by Italian Renaissance, it felt like it was from a different time. The exterior as well as the gardens were even more stunning. I think I loved going there so much because I had such a heart for European styles and culture. Being there was an escape in a way. It does not feel like Tulsa, Oklahoma.
