Past Exhibitions
Since the 1910s, the University of Oklahoma has been a repository for art. With the formation of the OU Museum of Art in 1936, and the addition of a permanent museum building in 1971, the university's ability to display permanent collections and temporary exhibitions has increased exponentially. Although the museum's research into past exhibitions is ongoing, please click the links on the left to further explore, by decade, exhibitions from the museum's past.
