Today’s featured event:

SHAWNEE – See “A Few of Our Favorite Things: Rarely Seen Treasures from the Permanent Collection” today at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, 1900 W MacArthur Drive

“A Few of Our Favorite Things” will feature objects not seen for many years. The exhibit will be on view through Aug. 23 if you miss it today.

This exhibition celebrates the 30th anniversary of the return of the museum’s permanent collection to Shawnee in 1979 after it was housed in Oklahoma City for several years.

The curator of collections and director of the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art selected unique works of art that have rarely been seen by the public for the exhibit. About 95 percent of the museum’s collection is in storage at any one time. Periodically, pieces rotate into the permanent collection gallery or are part of the temporary exhibits.

The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art is on the campus of St. Gregory’s University. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors age 65 or older, $3 for students and children ages 6 to 17, and free for children age 5 and younger.
