Programs & Activities

Join us this summer for Teen Camp and Explorers' Camp. Click the links for more info.

There are programs at the museum throughout the year, including gallery tours, lectures, classes, and children’s activities designed to complement the Museum’s exhibits of native arts and crafts and develop a greater appreciation of natural history. Ongoing programs for children include Paleo Pals (featuring Kid Acro), Summer Explorers, and Kids Kreate. Public lectures have included such topics as “Women in Ancient Egypt”, “The American Buffalo”, “New Discoveries in Oklahoma Archaeology”, and African Art for Life’s Sake”.

The Museum also features activities such as an “Ask the Archaeologist” day, when members of the public are invited to bring artifacts, preferably from the region, for identification. Study trips arranged by the museum have taken participants to visit archaeological sites in Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Chile, and China. Current information about exhibitions and descriptions of ongoing and future programs for children and adults, as well as a schedule of coming events and future museum-organized trips, are all covered in Sherds, the Museum’s quarterly publication.
