Families touring the sprawling 215,000-square-foot Smithsonian affiliate museum will encounter interactive gallery stations highlighting Indigenous arts, languages, and seasonal harvest traditions. Children can examine traditional handcrafted pottery, try hands-on beadwork and weaving activities, and listen to traditional oral stories recounting ancient autumn harvest celebrations. Outside in the Red River Journey walking grounds, families can discover native prairie flora and geological formations reflecting Oklahoma's diverse eco-regions.
