The Oklahoma City Museum of Art occupies the Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center in the downtown arts district. It shows its own collection of European and American art alongside travelling exhibitions, and holds a large collection of glass by Dale Chihuly, including a 17-metre glass tower in the atrium. A cinema shows independent and classic films.
The American Banjo Museum in the Bricktown district traces the history of the banjo, from its African roots and arrival in North America with enslaved people to jazz, bluegrass and today's music. Founded in Guthrie in 1988 and moved to Oklahoma City in 2009, it shows hundreds of instruments in a restored brick warehouse.
The Oklahoma History Center, opened in 2005 opposite the Governor's Mansion near the State Capitol, is the state history museum run by the Oklahoma Historical Society. Its galleries cover the tribal nations, settlement, oil, aviation and commerce of Oklahoma, and the grounds hold oil-industry equipment and a research centre.
The First Americans Museum, opened in 2021 beside the Oklahoma River, presents the histories and cultures of the 39 tribal nations in Oklahoma today. Its galleries cover their removal to Indian Territory, everyday objects and contemporary life, with a gallery of loans from the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, around a large earthwork mound.
