 Military history of Oklahoma |
2145 Northeast 36th Street Oklahoma City, OK 73111 United States +1 405 424 5313 http://www.45thdivisionmuseum.... |
See the military history of Oklahoma from the very beginning to the present. The 45th Infantry Division captured Hitler's apartment, and you can see the memorabilia they collected at this free museum. The museum also displays World War II and Korean-era artillery, uniforms and firearms. You can also enjoy the outdoor military park with more than 40 military vehicles, aircraft and artillery. This is a great way to teach kids about the military and learn something yourself. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great gallery on campus |
410 West Boyd Street University of Oklahoma Oklahoma City, OK 73019 United States +1 405 325 3272 |
This gallery on the University of Oklahoma campus has become well known in art circles for its fine collections. The space is open and very minimalist; nice lighting and unobtrusive beige walls allow viewers to focus on the pieces and not on the environment. Four main collections are housed here: contemporary, the Oscar Jacobson American Indian Art Collection, the Oklahoma State Department collection, and the Santa Fe Indian School. There are also special exhibits held throughout the year to display traveling collections. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is one museum the kids will not mind visiting. Firemen hold a special mystique for children and adults alike. This Oklahoma landmark shows visitors how fire fighting has evolved throughout history. Exhibits of antique, century-old fire engines both awe and educate visitors.

Unique items like a collection of uniform shoulder patches and fire alarms show little-known aspects that accompany the profession. Admission: $3 Adults, $1.50 Children, $2 Senior Citizens.
