Signs are all around us….

They tell us where we are, where we’re going, and how to get there. This exhibit shows off some of Tulsa’s signs from the past. These markers have labeled streets, businesses, buildings, and events, and come in many shapes, sizes, and materials. Visitors can revisit some popular signs from around the city as well as examine drawings and photographs of signs that disappeared long ago.

This exhibit is now closed – February 2019 – January 2020
