Lived in Shawnee most of my adult life and never knew this was here. Me and my kids loved it. A hidden gem.

A great small museum. I enjoyed the story of Father Gerrer, his paintings and his collections from all over the world.

An amazing and enigmatic experience it feels like a giant time machine.Much of the artwork that is here is rare beyond imagination. This museum is tucked away and has been here for 100 years.The staff are amazing courteous and professional. Really enjoyed our visit.
Founded in 1919, the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art is one of the oldest museums in the state of Oklahoma. Father Gregory Gerrer, for whom the museum is named, was a Benedictine monk of considerable artistic talent. During Father Gerrer's travels to Europe, Africa and South America, he collected objects of artistic and ethnological value.
