South Gallery: Black Gold in Oil Town

Through April 26, 2025

“Black Gold in Oil Town” details the rich history of Negro league baseball in Oklahoma, specifically Tulsa. With historic photographs and items and baseball paraphernalia, the exhibit follows paid-to-play Black baseball games in Oklahoma that preceded statehood and examines the 100-plus year history that follows, including the game’s tie to the Tulsa Race Massacre, the history behind teams like the T-Town Clowns and the Tulsa Black Oilers, biographies on popular players like Satchel Paige, and legacy that the league has left behind.

North Gallery: Alien Worlds

Through April 26, 2025

An exhibit that explores the ways humans have imagined aliens and their homes. This interdisciplinary exhibit includes film and television representations, scientific discoveries and exoplanets, historical first contact narratives, fantasy maps, and how the familiar can be considered alien when taking a certain perspective.
