About Gilcrease Museum
The Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, known as Gilcrease Museum, houses the world's largest and most comprehensive collection of art of the American West, as well as a growing collection of art and artifacts from Central and South America. The interdisciplinary collection contains more than 350,000 items representing hundreds of Indigenous cultures from across the Americas, with works spanning from 12,000 BCE to the 21st century. The collection includes 350 years of American paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, including 18 of the 22 different bronze sculptures created by Frederic Remington.
Founded in 1949 by Thomas Gilcrease, a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and Tulsa oilman, the museum became a civic treasure when Tulsans voted in 1954 to acquire the collection and keep it in the city. Today, Gilcrease Museum is owned by the City of Tulsa in partnership with The University of Tulsa. The museum sits on 460 acres with themed gardens developed using the collection as a guide. The grounds are free and open daily.
Adjacent to the museum, the Helmerich Center for American Research houses one of the most extensive archives of rare books, documents, maps, and unpublished materials related to the history of North America.
