Oklahoma City Museum of Art

The Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA) is a museum located in the Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The museum features traveling special exhibitions, original selections from its own collection, a theater showing a variety of foreign, independent, and classic films each week, and a restaurant. OKCMOA also houses a collection of Chihuly glass among the most comprehensive in the world, including the 55-foot Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower in the museum's atrium. History and development The Oklahoma City Museum of Art traces its origins to early projects of the Oklahoma Art League and Art Renaissance Club—groups that promoted art education in early Oklahoma City. Later, more formal programs emerged, with an Experimental Gallery by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), open to the public. When the museum incorporated, May 18, 1945, the federally funded gallery became a private institution. Today's Oklahoma City Museum of Art was synthesized from two predecessor institutions: the Oklahoma Art Center (an outgrowth of the WPA Experimental Gallery), and the Oklahoma Museum of Art. Both institutions had been committed to art-collecting, exhibitions and public programs — but the 1980s downturn in the oil industry created a depressed local economy, undermining the city's ability to support two art institutions. That led to a 1989 merger of the two museums. Museum leaders acted to create a new Oklahoma City Museum of Art as a single, financially secure institution. The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation provided a $14.5 million capital grant, and further support was acquired from over 500 corporations, foundations, and individual donors, yielding $40 million, in entirely private funds, to build and endow the new museum. In March, 2002, the Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center, of the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, opened. The museum now receives over 125,000 visitors annually, with a permanent collection, a cycle of temporary exhibitions, various education opportunities, an international film program, and a Museum Store.

Музей искусств Оклахома-Сити

Музей искусств Оклахома-Сити (англ. Oklahoma City Museum of Art) — музей, расположенный в Центре изобразительных искусств Дональда У. Рейнольдса в Оклахома-Сити, штат Оклахома, США. В нём находится более 15 тысяч различных произведений искусства. Также в музее проводятся передвижные выставки, оригинальные экспозиции из собственной коллекции, каждую неделю в кинотеатре показывают различные зарубежные, независимые и классические фильмы, работает ресторан. Одними из главных достопримечательностей музея является его коллекция европейского искусства XVIII—XIX веков и коллекция стекла Дейла Чихули, одна из самых обширных в мире, включая 55-футовую мемориальную башню Элеоноры Блейк Киркпатрик в атриуме музея. История музея Художественный музей Оклахома-Сити ведёт свою историю с момента создания Лиги искусств Оклахомы и Клуба художественного возрождения — групп, которые продвигали художественное образование в Оклахома-Сити. Позже появились более формальные программы, в том числе экспериментальная галерея, открытая для публики Администрацией общественных работ. Когда 18 мая 1945 года музей был зарегистрирован, финансируемая государством галерея стала частным учреждением. Сегодняшний Художественный музей Оклахома-Сити был создан на основе двух предшествующих ему учреждений: Художественного центра Оклахомы (ответвления из Экспериментальной галереи Управления общественных работ) и Художественного музея Оклахомы. Оба учреждения занимались коллекционированием произведений искусства, выставками и общественными программами, но спад в нефтяной промышленности в 1980-х годах привёл к упадку местной экономики, подорвав способность города поддерживать два художественных учреждения. Это привело к слиянию двух музеев в 1989 году. Руководители музея выступили за создание нового Художественного музея Оклахома-Сити в качестве единого, финансово устойчивого учреждения. Фонд Дональда У. Рейнольдса предоставил грант в размере 14,5 миллионов долларов, а также получил поддержку от более чем 500 фондов, фондов и частных лиц, что позволило собрать 40 миллионов долларов из частных источников для строительства и оснащения нового музея. Благодаря этому в марте 2002 года открылся Центр изобразительного искусства Дональда У. Рейнольдса при Художественном музее Оклахома-Сити. В настоящее время музей ежегодно принимает более 125 000 посетителей, предлагая постоянную экспозицию, цикл временных выставок, различные образовательные программы, международную кинопрограмму и музейный магазин.

Oklahoma City Zoo

Der Oklahoma City Zoo, auch als Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden bekannt, ist der Zoo der Stadt Oklahoma City im US-Bundesstaat Oklahoma. Geschichte Der Zoo wurde im Jahr 1904 mit wenigen Tieren im Wheeler Park eröffnet. Das Gelände erwies sich bald als zu klein und nachdem die Anlagen durch eine verheerende Überschwemmung zerstört wurden, zog der Zoo in den Lincoln Park um. Ein Feuer zerstörte 1924 erneut die Anlagen und der Zoo wurde an anderer Stelle im Lincoln Park neu aufgebaut. Nach und nach wurden der Tierbestand vergrößert und neue Anlagen den Besuchern zugänglich gemacht. Im Fiskaljahr 2014/2015 besuchten erstmals deutlich mehr als eine Million Gäste den Zoo. Der Oklahoma City Zoo ist Mitglied der American Alliance of Museums (AAM) sowie der Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Anlagenkonzept und Tierbestand Die Gestaltung der Anlagen im Oklahoma City Zoo ist darauf ausgerichtet, Tiere und Pflanzen durch botanische Möglichkeiten zu verbinden und in geografisch passenden Gemeinschaften zu zeigen. Mit einer Zoo-Eisenbahn können die Besucher zu den verschiedenen Sektionen transportiert werden. Insgesamt werden ca. 1900 Tiere gehalten. Große Sektionen des Zoos sind: Sanctuary Asia, wo Tiere aus Asien leben; Great EscAPE, mit Gruppen von Menschenaffen sowie Cat Forest/Lion Overlook, die Anlagen für Großkatzen. In der Abteilung Island Life sind vorwiegend Seevögel und Reptilien untergebracht. Der Zoo enthält auch ein Schauaquarium und ein Herpetarium. Überwiegend Tiere aus Nordamerika werden in den Oklahoma Trails gehalten. Für jugendliche Besucher sind im Zoo ein Kinderzoo sowie ein Informations- und Schulungszentrum eingerichtet. Im Butterfly Garden werden Schmetterlinge, u. a. der Monarchfalter (Danaus plexippus) gezeigt und gezüchtet. Viele dieser Falter werden im Zoo markiert und in die Freiheit entlassen, damit weitere Erkenntnisse über das Wanderverhalten dieser Falter gewonnen werden können. Der Butterfly Garden enthält eine Vielzahl verschiedener Pflanzen, die den Schmetterlingen und deren Raupen als Nahrung dienen. Im Jahr 2000 verendete im Delfinarium des Oklahoma City Zoos ein fünf Monate alter Delfin. Da früher schon mehrere Delfine dort aufgrund von Infektionen mit Streptokokken eingegangen waren, gab der Zoo die Haltung von Delfinen ganz auf. Das Delfinarium wurde umgestaltet und nach dem Umbau mit Seelöwen besetzt. Eine Sektion, die verschiedene Greifvogelarten zeigt wurde im Herbst 2020 eröffnet (Raptor Ridge). Dort sind auch der Weißkopfseeadler, der Wappenvogel der Vereinigten Staaten, der Andenkondor und die Harpyie zu sehen. Die Volieren sind mit Felsnischen und Gehölzen ausgestattet und schaffen dadurch den Greifvögeln die Möglichkeit zum Nestbau. Nachfolgende Bilder zeigen einige ausgewählte Vogel- und Säugetierarten.

Зоопарк Оклахома-Сити

Зоопарк Оклахома-Сити — один из крупнейших зоопарков Соединённых Штатов Америки находится в Оклахома-Сити, штат Оклахома. Занимает площадь 45 га. Является членом двух международных союзов: ААМ (Американский альянс музеев), WAZA (Международная ассоциация зоопарков и аквариумов). История Зоопарк в Оклахома-Сити открылся в 1904 году с несколькими животными в парке Уиллер. Вскоре это место оказалось слишком маленьким, и после того, как территория была разрушена наводнением, зоопарк переехал в Линкольн-парк. В 1924 году пожар снова уничтожил территорию, и зоопарк был перестроен в другом месте Линкольн-парка. Постепенно количество животных увеличивалось, и для посетителей открывались новые помещения. В 2014/2015 финансовом году зоопарк впервые посетили более миллиона гостей. Зоопарк Оклахома-Сити является членом Американского альянса музеев (AAM) и Ассоциации зоопарков и аквариумов (WAZA). Животный мир зоопарка Дизайн помещений зоопарка Оклахома-Сити спроектирован так, чтобы соединить животных и растения с помощью ботанических возможностей и показать их в географически подходящих ареалах. Всего в зоопарке содержится около 1900 животных. В зоопарке работает специальная железная дорога, по которой посетители могут добраться до различных секций. Основные разделы зоопарка: заповедник «Азия», где обитают животные из Азии; Большой Эскейп с группами человекообразных обезьян и Кошачьим лесом/Львиным обозрением с большими представителями семейства кошачьих. В отделе "Остров жизни" в основном представлены морские птицы и рептилии. В зоопарке имеется выставочный аквариум и герпетарий. В основном там представлены животные из Северной Америки. Для юных посетителей в зоопарке создан детский зоопарк и информационно-обучающий центр. В "Саду бабочек" выставляются и разводятся бабочки, в том числе бабочка-монарх (Danaus plexippus). Многие из этих особей выводят в зоопарке, а затем выпускают в дикую природу, в целях сбора информации о миграционном поведении бабочек. Эта территория содержит множество различных растений, которые служат пищей для бабочек и их гусениц. В 2000 году в дельфинарии зоопарка Оклахома-Сити умер пятимесячный дельфин. Из-за того, что несколько дельфинов умерли в зоопарке из-за стрептококковой инфекции, администрация учреждения полностью отказалась от содержания дельфинов. Дельфинарий был реконструирован, и после ремонта был заполнен морскими львами. Осенью 2020 года был открыт участок с разными видами хищных птиц. Здесь можно увидеть белоголового орлана, геральдическую птицу Соединенных Штатов, андского кондора и гарпию. Вольеры для пернатых оборудованы каменными нишами и деревьями, что дает хищным птицам возможность строить гнезда.

Oklahoma Natural Gas Company Building

The Oklahoma Natural Gas Company Building is a historic building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at 624 South Boston Ave. It was one of the first local Art Deco buildings built in the new style, along with the Public Service of Oklahoma Building. This choice by the relatively conservative utility companies made the style acceptable in the city, with many Art Deco buildings built subsequently in Tulsa. The building was designed by Frank V. Kirshner and Arthur M. Atkinson. It was built of reinforced concrete, and clad in buff brick, except for the lower two stories, which are clad in limestone. The verticalness of the building is emphasized by piers rising the entire height of the facade with windows placed between the piers. This building was spared from demolition in 1982, when ONEOK (the successor to ONG) abandoned its plan to replace the structure with a new high-rise headquarters building. Instead, ONEOK took over a high-rise then under construction by Citgo at Fifth Street and Boulder Avenue. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1984, for architectural significance and as a representative of the tremendous growth Tulsa experienced during the 1920s. It is included in the Oil Capital Historic District as a contributing structure. References External links Building's Web Site: [2] Tulsa Preservation Commission
Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum

The Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum is a museum owned and administered by the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association (OSFA). The museum is financed by the dues collected from more than 9,000 firefighters, and is located at 2716 N.E. 50th Street in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The museum is devoted entirely to the preservation and display of antique fire apparatus and equipment. It contains a remarkable collection of antique gear, dating back to the mid-18th century, and also holds the first fire station in Oklahoma Territory, built in 1864. Many items from the oldest fire company in the United States, commanded by Benjamin Franklin, are on display. Exhibits also include the world's largest patch collection and the distinctive mural The Last Alarm. The building is also home to the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association (OSFA), the Oklahoma Fire Chiefs Association (OFCA), the Council on Firefighter Training (COFT) and the Oklahoma Retired Firefighters Association (ORFA) offices. History On July 18, 1966, the Directors of the Oklahoma State Firemen's Museum decided to use the municipal trust method to finance the museum, which at the time, was expected to cost $200,000. On December 14, 1966, the museum board met with the state insurance commissioner at the Will Rogers Memorial Building and was granted final approval for the location of the museum. Groundbreaking for the museum building was performed on April 6, 1967, though contractor bids were accepted up until January 9, 1968. The building was deemed complete on March 1, 1969, and the museum officially opened to the public the next day on March 2, 1969. John Knupple was the first Curator of the Firefighters Museum and served from June 1, 1970, until December 31, 1971. In January 1972, Sam Oruch, an active firefighter for the Oklahoma City Fire Department, became the part-time curator; after Oruch retired as a full-time firefighter, he was hired full-time to care for the museum. Oruch gave tours in the Museum for over 33 years and is the last one to hold the title of curator. Jim Sanders, a veteran of the Bethany, Oklahoma Fire Department, became the museum director in 2004. Mike Billingsley, a retired firefighter from the Nichols Hills Fire Department, was the next to take the title of museum director in September 2006. In 2014, Gene Brown, a retired firefighter from The Village, took over as museum director and still is to this day.

Oklahoma State University–Tulsa

Oklahoma State University–Tulsa, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, is the newest institution of the Oklahoma State University System. It was previously the University Center at Tulsa until it became OSU-Tulsa on January 1, 1999. OSU-Tulsa is unique in the fact that it is not recognized as its own entity, but rather an extension of the main Oklahoma State University campus in Stillwater, Oklahoma. OSU-Tulsa works in conjunction with the main OSU campus and Tulsa Community College to provide freshman and sophomore-level courses, enabling students to complete a four-year undergraduate course of study. Pamela Martin Fry was named the institution's third president and first female president in 2019. History As Tulsa lacked a four-year public university, the Tulsa Development Authority opened the University Center at Tulsa (UCAT) in 1986 on land north of Interstate 244. Specializing in graduate programs, UCAT was a collaborative venture between Langston University, Northeastern State University, the University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University. In 1996, UCAT was renamed Rogers University. In 1998, Governor Frank Keating signed into law SB 1426, a bill co-authored by State Senators Charles Ford and Betty Boyd "establishing Oklahoma State University/Tulsa as successor to Rogers University in Tulsa." Oklahoma State University–Tulsa officially opened on January 1, 1999. Academics The Tulsa campus focuses on junior, senior and graduate level education, providing opportunities for individuals to complete bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees. Campus The campus is located north of downtown Tulsa, in the historic Greenwood neighborhood. Tulsa facilities include traditional classrooms, distance-learning classrooms, computer labs, and a conference center area. The Helmerich Advanced Technology Research Center (HATRC) is a recent campus addition. This 125,000-square-foot (11,600 m2) engineering building is home to OSU's School of Materials Science and Engineering and has specialized labs for developing advanced materials targeted to local aerospace, biotechnology, and telecommunications, and manufacturing industries.

Old Central

Old Central, historically known as the College Building, is the oldest building on the Oklahoma State University campus in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Originally built in 1894, it was the first permanent building on the Oklahoma A&M campus. Old Central's bell clapper once served as a traveling trophy in the Bedlam Series athletics rivalry between Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma. The new "Bedlam Bell" is a crystal trophy modeled after Old Central's bell and is awarded to the winner of each individual athletics contest in addition to the overall series winner for each year. History The construction contract for Old Central was awarded on June 20, 1893. Many students, wanting their own building as soon as possible, assisted the fifty-man construction crew. Students received ten cents per hour for menial jobs, such as carrying bricks and water to the masons. Dedication ceremonies were held on June 15, 1894. Classes began in the structure on September 15, with 144 students in attendance. The College Building, as it was originally known, was the only permanent campus building until 1900. The Chemistry Department, which had occupied the basement, moved into a new building west of "The College." Shifting red Permian clay soil and Old Central's native sandstone foundation proved to be an unfortunate combination. The shifting clay movement against the soft sandstone foundation caused serious structural cracks. In 1914 two large tie-rods were installed in an effort to stabilize the building. Condemnation of Old Central became official in 1925, but space on campus was badly needed; so the building continued to be used until early 1927 when falling plaster slightly injured a student. Major work in 1930 put the building back into use until 1969 when the last regular classes were held. Oklahoma State University leased Old Central to the Oklahoma Historical Society in July 1971; the building was also placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Exterior restoration which began in 1973, was completed in 1989 with the installation of a metal shingle roof to duplicate the original roofing. On October 10, 2007, a new construction project began that gave the 113-year-old building a $7 million restoration and renovation. Oklahoma state and university officials, including Oklahoma State University System CEO and Interim President Marlene Strathe and Oklahoma Historical Society Executive Director Bob Blackburn, were on hand to ring the Old Central bell to mark the start of construction. The project would give Old Central a new foundation and place students in the building once again. When the renovation was completed in July 2009, the building became the home of the OSU Honors College and continues to house the Oklahoma Museum of Higher Education. The renovation was funded by the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education capital lease program. References External links Oklahoma Museum of Higher Education
