Tulsa Attractions
The oil capital of Tulsa, the second largest city in Oklahoma, lies in the east of the state. Thanks to the wealth brought by oil, it has a number of excellent museums: the Gilcrease Museum, which is devoted to the move to the west (Indian artifacts, pictures of the Wild West by Remington, Russell and other artists); the Philbrook Museum of Art (art of many periods and styles, including the Italian Renaissance, 19th c. English painting and Indian arts and crafts); and the Fenster Museum of Jewish Art.
South of Downtown Tulsa, the gold facade of the Christian fundamentalist Oral Roberts University gleams in the sun - this is a top-class architectural showpiece, with "praying hands" more than 76 ft high.
