TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Gilcrease Museum Tuesday afternoon.
The former building was demolished in January, making way for a new $65,000,000, 91,000 square-foot facility. The City of Tulsa donated a large portion of the funding through the Vision Tulsa act.
Construction is expected to begin this summer and will take several years. In addition to the facility, there will be 460 acres of biking and hiking trails.
Tulsa mayor G.T. Bynum spoke at the event and was joined by Gilcrease Museum Executive Director Susan Neal, Principal Chief of the Osage Nation Geoffrey Standing Bear, and Lt. Governor of Oklahoma Matt Pinnell.
