Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art Opens New Stuart Wing

The new Stuart Wing has opened at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.

The $13 million, four-year project provides a new 18,000-square- foot expansion to the museum on the University of Oklahoma Norman campus. The Stuart Wing includes a new gallery to house the acclaimed Eugene B. Adkins Collection, which is one of the nation’s most important private collections of Taos and Native American artists. The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa were awarded joint stewardship of the Adkins Collection in 2007.

“We are so excited to share this unique opportunity to experience and learn so much about the art in the Eugene B. Adkins Collection and works from other collections,” said Museum Director Ghislain d’Humières. “From the academic presentations of the Adkins Symposium through the community celebration, visitors are in for a number of educational and exciting opportunities leading up to the unveiling of the new Stuart Wing.”

The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art is located in the OU Arts District on the corner of Elm Avenue and Boyd Street, at 555 Elm Ave., on the OU Norman campus. The museum’s website is www.ou.edu/fjjma. Information and accommodations on the basis of disability are available by calling (405) 325-4938.
