The permanent collection at The Sherwin Milller Museum of Jewish Art includes iron and bronze works from early Jewish history (think 3200 BCE), work by Israeli artists like Reuven Rubin and objects from the Holocaust. Of interest to the Oklahomans who have visited is the museum's collection of memorabilia chronicling local Jewish history.
While on the smaller side, recent visitors highly recommend visiting this museum, saying that all of the exhibits are informative and impressive. It's also a good place for a repeat visit, as the exhibits change throughout the seasons.
You'll find The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art east of the Arkansas River in south Tulsa. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission costs $6.50 for adults, $3.50 for those 21 and younger and $5.50 for those 55 and older. Visit the museum's website for more details.
