Beginning with the Works Projects Administration’s donation of 28 works of art to Oklahoma City in 1942, “Our City, Our Collection” explores the museum’s rich permanent collection as one of our community’s most important cultural assets. Included in the exhibition are some of the world’s most significant artists: Georgia O’Keeffe, Rembrandt van Rijn, Gustave Courbet, Marcel Duchamp, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alexander Calder, John Singleton Copley, Andrew Wyeth, Roy Lichtenstein, Dale Chihuly, and many, many more. This is the museum’s legacy to our city.
