Aired on Thursday, August 24th.

On this edition of StudioTulsa, we speak once again with Scott Stulen, the President and Director of the Philbrook Museum of Art. At a press conference earlier today, Stulen announced a number of exciting changes in store for Philbrook, which will take effect very soon. He reviews these changes with us on today's program; they include extended hours for the museum -- at both its downtown and midtown locations here in Tulsa -- as well as an increase in events and exhibits related to the museum's gardens and grounds, an expanded film series, and a host of new community- or outreach-related gatherings. Stulen also previews the museum's upcoming exhibition, "Museum Confidential," opening in October.
