Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa

Saturday, we took a little drive to Tulsa, OK and toured the Philbrook Museum of Art. This Italian Renaissance villa was built in the 1920's.


This is just part of the backyard backdrop...I know it's only part of it...

I would like to have a cocktail party in this backyard. Some jazz music would be nice. Maybe have some fancy finger food I can't pronounce. Hmm, sounds like a party.

Everything about this place is extravagant. Every architecual detail is absolutely gorgeous! Trey was in awe of the woodwork. It's impressive. Dear, Trey make me a room like this. Just kidding. Sort of...

There was art all over the mansion.

I believe most of the second floor is used primarily as an art gallery. You can tell it has been remodeled.

Because you haven't seen enough photos of it, here is video I shot.  Panoramic view.

After taking the tour, we went to dinner at The Brook, an old converted theater. We also drove around Tulsa neighborhoods admiring million dollar homes.
