The City Art Museum at Oklahoma lends its services with a more than commendable performance. Its stature as a site of tourist importance in Oklahoma City has been a mixture of drama and excitement through the years of creative explosion as the museum found itself in the revolution of art in the 1960s. Conservative and modernist art views were the primary polarities that held the museum under a conservational hold, while the modernists went their way away from establishment.

Later in 1989, the center had been merged under the two factions. The new development was a ray of hope for the facility to survive in the modern world of liberal art and exploration. Blue Bowls from the Chihuly Project are one of the main exhibits amongst other art products from different parts of the world. Garments and designs in fashion are also one of the modernist expressions in the museum.

Exhibitions at the Art Museum include works on paper, wax, oil on canvas, glass and textiles. One of the major exhibitions being held over the major part of 2010 includes gifts from the Ossorio Foundation. The items are known to be works of the artist between 1949 and 1984. More works are expected to be showcased on the upper level of the museum facility from November 2010.
