Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art
Founded in 1919, the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art in Shawnee is one of the oldest museums in the state of Oklahoma. One of Oklahoma's little-known jewels, the museum is located on the campus of St. Gregory's University, Oklahoma's oldest university, and features more than 6,000 artifacts. The museum includes permanent collections of Egyptian, Greek and Roman objects. Other collections at this Shawnee museum include art from the Renaissance and Middle Ages through the early 20th century, as well as Native American, African, Oceanic and Eastern cultural artifacts. This museum also features many artifacts highlighting Old World antiquity including objects from Greece, China, Babylon and more.

Delaynna Trim, Curator of Collections
In Shawnee, Oklahoma there is a diamond in the rough so to speak, with the Mabee Gerrer Museum of Art. It is most noteable for the only mummies in the state, but there’s so much more to see and learn at this one of a kind museum. I sat down with Delaynna Trim, the Curator of Collections to give viewers on their smartphones a chance to immerse themselves into their collection.
Museums: A Catalyst for Challenging Historical Perceptions | Zachary Qualls | TEDxUniversityofTulsa
Zachary Qualls asks the question of how the way our museums are set up influences how we perceive our own history. He tells a personal story of how museums have affected his life, and how they can be improved as we look to the future of our monuments to the past.
Before joining the Museum Science Management program led by Dr. Robert Pickering as a graduate student in the fall of 2016, Zachary Qualls received his B.F.A in Art History from the University of Central Oklahoma. Currently a Digital Collections Assistant in the Digital Collections department at Gilcrease Museum under Diana Folsom, Zachary was previously a Museum Associate and the Coordinator of Visitor Relations at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art in Shawnee, OK.He has worked extensively with cataloging, researching, and photographing several private collections and has acted as the liaison for the Kirkpatrick Foundation Affiliated Fund’s & Gifts of Perry and Angela Tennyson Collection of African and Oceanic Art on permanent loan to the University of Central Oklahoma. Mr. Qualls’ main interest in museums is the dissemination of histories and their effects on understanding cultural identity and how people perceive art out of context.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Oklahoma ( (listen)) is a state in the South Central region of the United States, bordered by Kansas on the north, Missouri on the northeast, Arkansas on the east, Texas on the south, New Mexico on the west, and Colorado on the northwest. It is the 20th-most extensive and the 28th-most populous of the fifty United States. The state's name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning red people. It is also known informally by its nickname, The Sooner State, in reference to the non-Native settlers who staked their claims on land before the official opening date of lands in the western Oklahoma Territory or before the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889, which dramatically increased European-American settlement in the eastern Indian Territory. Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory were merged into the State of Oklahoma when it became the 46th state to enter the union on November 16, 1907. Its residents are known as Oklahomans (or colloquially, Okies), and its capital and largest city is Oklahoma City.
A major producer of natural gas, oil, and agricultural products, Oklahoma relies on an economic base of aviation, energy, telecommunications, and biotechnology. Both Oklahoma City and Tulsa serve as Oklahoma's primary economic anchors, with nearly two thirds of Oklahomans living within their metropolitan statistical areas.With ancient mountain ranges, prairie, mesas, and eastern forests, most of Oklahoma lies in the Great Plains, Cross Timbers, and the U.S. Interior Highlands, a region prone mainly to severe weather. More than 25 Native American languages are spoken in Oklahoma, ranking third behind Alaska and California.
Oklahoma is on a confluence of three major American cultural regions and historically served as a route for cattle drives, a destination for Southern settlers, and a government-sanctioned territory for Native Americans.

SUMMARY
=======
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, informally known as the St. Louis World's Fair, was an international exposition held in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, from April 30 to December 1, 1904. Local, state, and federal funds totaling $15 million were used to finance the event. More than 60 countries and 43 of the 45 American states maintained exhibition spaces at the fair, which was attended by nearly 19.7 million people.
Historians generally emphasize the prominence of themes of race and empire, and the fair's long-lasting impact on intellectuals in the fields of history, art history, architecture and anthropology. From the point of view of the memory of the average person who attended the fair, it primarily promoted entertainment, consumer goods and popular culture.
