What is Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum?

The museum does double duty. It is the home of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, which also runs it, and it is a museum of state heritage with exhibits designed to be touched and explored rather than only read. A theater adds films and programs to the visit.

The museum is housed inside the Mid-Continental Life building, so the building itself is part of what visitors see.
