Gilcrease Museum plans a March 2027 public reopening
Officials say the new purpose-built Gilcrease opens to the public in March 2027. No exact day, hours, or ticket prices yet.
The long rebuild has a public month.
Gilcrease Museum will reopen to the public in March 2027, the University of Tulsa announced Monday. The announcement, carried by PR Newswire, describes a new purpose-built museum. The Tulsa Flyer reports the campus has been closed since July 5, 2021, and puts the work at a $140.9 million transformation. KTUL also reports the March 2027 reopening and the same project cost.
PR Newswire lists a 95,673-square-foot facility on a 460-acre campus in the Osage Hills, designed by SmithGroup, with exhibition design by G&A. The collection holds more than 300,000 works spanning the Americas. Muscogee (Creek) collector Thomas Gilcrease founded the museum. The City of Tulsa owns it, and the University of Tulsa stewards it.
The university says more on exhibitions, programs, hiking and biking trails, and opening celebrations is still coming. March 2027 is the month they have given, and an exact opening day is still ahead.
For a look before then, the Flyer points to “Indigenous Independence: America at 250” at the Helmerich Center for American Research, on view through Dec. 17.
This is a reopen notice, not a Best Of ranking. Confirm the month and any later dates on the university announcement and gilcrease.org before you plan a visit.
