Rural Oklahoma Museum of Poetry
A humble, yet empowering little place for poetry. The mission of the Rural Oklahoma Museum of Poetry is to bring poetry and people together, to encourage wordplay and literacy and to provide a space where everyone can have an experience of poetry. The museum displays rotating exhibits focused on exploring creativity through words. The 2021 exhibit is Firewheel Folk: Oklahoma Wildflowers in Poetry and includes many ways to interact and learn about, write, and be inspired by wildflowers. Also, there is a creepy dolls eyes closet.

I'm not a big poetry or museum person, but I really enjoyed this museum. And don't forget to do the pasture poetry. It really was a treat. This was my treasure for the day!
[Linda, 02/15/2018]The Rural Oklahoma Museum of Poetry is a little interactive museum in a converted machine shop/shed in northeastern Oklahoma. In the museum you can play poker poetry, write in the secret corner, make poetry-wear, go on a poem cache treasure hunt, and more. This place is not just about poetry; it's about rural life, having fun with words, being surprised, and petting lazy hound dogs that live on the property.
