Topaz Impressions
The Philbrook Museum of Art is one of my favorite picture taking places. From the galleries to the gardens to the building itself it is a great place to take your camera. It is an “Italian Renaissance Villa” built in the late 1920’s by Tulsa oilman Waite Phillips for his home. He later donated it to the City of Tulsa for use as a museum. It has grown since then and is a treasure. We have a membership, courtesy of my sweet MIL, so I go there ever month or so just to walk around with my camera. I have been there dozens of times over the years and always find something new.
Looks like an interesting place- you are lucky to get to tour around and photograph it’s beauty.
This should be their catalog cover shot.
What a beautiful place and a terrific capture as always!! Wonderful place to spend some time!! Thanks for sharing, as always!! Have a great new week!!
The Philbrook Museum is so beautiful, and I love visiting there also! I like this view you shared, a different shot than the typical view from the tempietto that is most often featured in photos of the museum. I also like the gardens on the east? side of the building.
Awesomeness!
An amazing building!
Beautiful mansion. I do remember reading about the gardens here.
I suspect this is more elaborate than most Italian villas.
Such a great looking building. Nice to be able to go whenever you want.
It’s been a long time since I walked the grounds of Philbrook and even longer since I visited Gilcrease. I need to take a “Museum Day” field trip. We have memberships to Crystal Bridges here in Bentonville and it’s been several months since my last visit there as well. I really need an art fix.
