Thomas Gilcrease And The Making Of An American Treasure

Thomas Gilcrease and the Making of an American Treasure is the largest and most comprehensive display of original Gilcrease holdings ever assembled. It will include more than 300 objects, ranging from premier works of art to priceless artifacts and significant historical documents. The exhibition will represent 25 years of collecting by Gilcrease, who excavated some of these items with his friend, archaeologist Gregory Perino.
Thomas Gilcrease and the Making of an American Treasure provides a rare glimpse into the massive assemblage of items in Gilcrease Museum's permanent collection. Because of space considerations, only a small percentage of permanent collection items are ever on display at a given time.
