Introducing Stories Behind the Voices - Gilcrease

Today we are introducing a new feature to our ongoing Voices of Oklahoma podcast. An addition to our regular interviews, Stories Behind the Voices will be unique episodes crafted to share with you interesting insights about the people who have recorded their history for our collection.

By sharing these details not available in the main interview, our goal is to help you discover our great storytellers and their personal journey.

The first of these new segments highlights our interview with Gene Fulsom Gilcrease, grandson of oilman and avid art collector Thomas Gilcrease. The Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa will soon be torn down to make way for a new building to house and exhibit the massive collection which art historian Richard Saunders once called “a kind of Smithsonian Institution of the American West.”
