After driving north for three hours from Dallas, Steven and I finally arrived in Oklahoma City, the last stop on our Spring 2025 trip. We were excited to explore a new city and started by watching an Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game at the Paycom Center. The energy inside the arena was amazing, and the fans were full of spirit. We also planned to visit the Oklahoma City Museum of Art on Sunday, hoping to enjoy some quiet time surrounded by beautiful artworks.
The museum is conveniently located right in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City. On Sunday morning, the streets around the museum felt calm and peaceful, with only a few people walking around.
The main entrance of the museum
“Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower” by Dale Chihuly
As soon as we entered the museum, our eyes were drawn to a massive and colorful glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly in the lobby. The artwork was stunning—bright, twisting shapes made of glass that seemed to glow in the natural light. I had seen Chihuly’s work at the Dallas Museum of Art just a few days earlier, but this one was even more impressive.

The museum has several floors, and each one features different kinds of art. I spent hours slowly walking through the exhibits, enjoying every moment. I especially liked their collection of landscape paintings, detailed sculptures, and interesting video art installations. The variety of artwork kept things exciting, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax and take everything in. It was a perfect way to end our trip.
