About MGMOA Founded in 1919, the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art is one of the oldest museums in the state of Oklahoma.

During Father Gerrers travels to Europe, Africa and South America, he collected objects of artistic and ethnological value. The museums permanent collections include Egyptian, Greek and Roman objects ; art from the Renaissance through the early 20th century ; and large holdings of Native American African/Oceanic and Eastern cultural artifacts. In addition, the museum offers exciting special exhibitions throughout the year.
