Oklahoma City Museum of Art switches to winter hours this week

The Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch Drive, is switching to winter hours this week, following Sunday's closing of its summer special exhibition "Isabelle de Borchgrave: Fashioning Art from Paper.”

The museum’s winter schedule will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Third Thursdays of the month. The museum will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Winter hours will be in effect today through June 21.

A spokeswoman said winter hours are new this year, and that the OKC museum isn’t the only one trying them out, as Tulsa’s Philbrook Museum of Art adopted a similar winter schedule this year. Historically, attendance on Tuesdays has been relatively low outside of the OKC Museum of Art’s summer exhibition.

As previously reported, the downtown OKC attraction will next host the special exhibition “Victorian Radicals: From the Pre-Raphaelites to the Arts & Crafts Movement.” Set for Oct. 13-Jan. 6, “Victorian Radicals” features 145 works of art representing the full spectrum of avant-garde practices during the Victorian period.

Its summer 2019 special exhibition will be “Van Gogh, Monet, Degas: The Mellon Collection of French Art from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.” It will include more than 70 works by European masters such as Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Henri Rousseau and Vincent Van Gogh. It will be on view June 22-Sept. 22, 2019.
