The Oklahoma City Museum of Art welcomes all visitors.
We recognize the diverse backgrounds and needs of our community and are committed to creating a “culture of welcome” in which all visitors feel safe, supported, and valued. We strive to make Museum programs and public spaces accessible and inclusive by removing barriers that impede participation.
OKCMOA offers a variety of services to ensure that the Museum and its collection are accessible to all. If you have questions, need an accommodation not listed on our website, or have suggestions for how we can continue to improve access and inclusion at OKCMOA, contact the Admissions Desk during business hours at (405) 278-8237 or email access@okcmoa.com.
