Philbrook Museum-Tulsa

I remember visiting the museum when I was young and being blown away by its beauty. The building in itself is a spectacle, but I especially appreciated the well-worth effort put into the landscaping. Very rarely do you see such a classical building in Oklahoma. The works of art inside are incredible, one statue of an Indian hunting a buffalo specifically caught my interest, but you will miss much of the art if you do not remind yourself to slow down because you will be caught up in the excellence of the building. I never saw the original as the building and surrounding area has gone through multiple expansions since its construction. However this building still feels as if it must be older than it really is. This is likely because of my small exposure to buildings of this nature, but the classical style of Philbrook is unlike any other you will find in Oklahoma.
