ON Museum undergoing lighting renovation, temporary close

The Osage Nation Museum is undergoing a lighting renovation project and will be open by appointment only through Jan. 16.

During this time, contractors are working to replace the current museum interior and exhibit lighting with LED lighting to improve conditions for the exhibits on display, according to a news release.

“LED lighting does not emit harmful UV light, and it is high-efficient meaning our carbon footprint (and monthly electric bill) is greatly reduced,” according to the release. “The new lighting will improve the conditions for the objects both on display and in storage, as well as allow for dramatic exhibition lighting. This new system will allow for greater flexibility in displaying objects and create more aesthetically appealing gallery spaces. This project is just one of the many ways we are continuing to improve the ONM both for our visitors, and for the long-term preservation of the collection housed here.”

As a result of the lighting installation and the temporary closure, the ON Museum is extending the exhibit Carl Ponca: A Retrospective until Jan. 28.

The ON Museum will resume normal hours on Jan. 17. For more information on the ON Museum and appointments, call (918) 287-5441 or email museum@osagenation-nsn.gov
