Description

Features storytelling, a new immersive tunnel experience and more.

Inside the Hall of the People and on the Festival Plaza field, visitors can enjoy an artist mini-market, hands-on art activities and cultural presentations. Explore the interpretive walk on the FAM Mound to learn more about Mound Builder cultures and the science behind these earthen structures. Along the way, you will view unique murals that honor the sun, moon and stars, as well as an unbeatable view of the Oklahoma City skyline at the tip of the mound.

At about 5:10 p.m., watch the sun set through the mound tunnel, followed by a walk-through light and sound experience in the tunnel itself.

If you wish to visit the galleries, you may purchase admission online or at the museum’s Info Desks. The galleries and FAMstore will close at 5 p.m.
