Culture and heritage
Philbrook Museum of Art
The Philbrook Museum of Art occupies an Italian Renaissance villa surrounded by terraced gardens, giving the visit a very different atmosphere from a classical museum. The collections combine European, American, Aboriginal and contemporary art, with possible breaks under the pergolas or near the basins.

Gathering Place
Gathering Place Turns Arkansas River's banks into a large urban park, with bridges, gardens, sculptural playgrounds and waterfront spaces. Children find something to climb and invent there, while adults enjoy trails, lawns and open views of the city's waterfront. Tulsa.
