The museum named after Waite Phillips, the oilman who coined Tulsa a an oil capital, transformed his 72-room mansion into a cozy, family museum of fine arts. It is one of only 5 museums in the country that blends historic house, outstanding art galeries, and magnificent gardens.

The museum is absolutely stunning! The landscape design is breathtaking, the building itself is remarkable, and the interior is truly beautiful. But what really amazed me was the collection — an incredibly diverse range of exhibits. I hadn’t heard of this museum before and wasn’t expecting to see so many wonderful works. Visiting was a delightful surprise. I also want to especially highlight the friendliness of the museum staff. I definitely highly recommend it!

The art and temporary exhibits are great. My favorites are the mansion and the amazing gardens. The gardens are beautiful in spring and summer, but are great in fall and winter too. The staff plants over 22,000 bulbs every year.

This was an absolutely beautiful museum and garden. I spent about 4 hours wandering around looking at all the paintings and gardens. There are many areas you can have a picnic or relax and there’s something for everyone.

This is a grand mansion art museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The grounds are inspiring! My favorite is the swing under the giant oak tree. The sun streaming in my face through the leaves was memorable. The art is interesting to view while having a relaxed visit. We bought some goodies in the gift shop. We ate before arriving, but there is a cute little cafe for lunch.
