In a continuing effort to communicate the value and importance of Oklahoma museums, the Oklahoma Museums Association has declared May 17-23, 2009 as Oklahoma Museums Week.

Oklahoma Museums Week celebrates Oklahoma’s 500+ museums, historical societies, historic sites, zoos and botanical gardens, historic houses, living history museums, tribal cultural centers and other museum-related institutions. The Honorable Governor Brad Henry has been asked to issue a Proclamation in support of Oklahoma Museums Week.

The purpose of Oklahoma Museums Week is to recognize contributions that museums and related institutions make to their communities and to the state. OMA promotes this annual celebration to remind Oklahomans that our museums and related facilities are important centers of education, research, and preservation of history and culture. Oklahoma Museums Week is co-sponsored by the Oklahoma Arts Council.
