Tulsa Mini-Vacation - Philbrook Museum

My favorite part of our mini-vacation to Tulsa this weekend was visiting the Philbrook Museum.

I kept daydreaming about living in a mansion like that. I would pretend to be Marie Antoinette every day. The Sofia Coppola version, of course.

These images were taken one right after the other. My new camera has a "creepy" setting.

I imagine the garden is beautiful in the spring.

The interior has some amazing architectural details that I wasn't able to capture quite well enough.

This video installation was completely unexpected and mesmerizing.

I thought the information graphics were more interesting than the actual art being shown in one section.

There was a photography exhibit showing. They had a free photobooth set outside of it!

I love this. Typography that isn't trying too hard.

Shades of cream and black.

Gold leaf and hand written details made me want to take this home.

Barbara Kruger is a badass.

I like this presentation.

I got a lot of practical inspiration from this museum visit. And Jeremy said he had never appreciated art so much in his life.
