Fred Jones Jr Museum of Art

Fred Jones is one of my favorite buildings on campus. I remember thinking how strange the sculpture out front is when I first came to OU, but it has grown on me, I think, for exactly that reason. There are some really great works of art in this museum, and the building itself is very enjoyable to be in. I like how they used several small buildings that are interconnected with hallways that allow natural light in, and the large window on the North end that allows you to see the revolving exhibits from the street view. I also like how they have designed some rooms in the era that reflects the showcase of that particular art. I also even prefer the lecture halls in this building more so than others because of the intimate feeling they give while attending. They are not as steep as some other larger lecture halls, but they also do slant in a way that allows for ease of viewing for the listener.
