Event Navigation

The Oklahoma History Center is honored to announce the opening of a photographic exhibit entitled “Where They Went”: A Photographic History of Oklahoma Animals. The title is extracted from a Will Rogers quote: “If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.” The exhibit will be comprised of twenty-six black-and-white images taken by Oklahoma photographers and will open on Friday, September 21, 2018. It may be viewed in the Cooper and Gladys West Atrium Wing and Gallery during regular hours of operation, Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm.

“Where They Went”: A Photographic History of Oklahoma Animals has been made possible through the generous support of the Kirkpatrick Foundation as a prelude to a triennial conference hosted by that group. The ANIMAL 2018 Conference of Ideas, Impact, and Inspiration will be held on October 22 and 23, 2018, at the Skirvin Hilton Hotel in Oklahoma City. According to its website, this conference is a key to achieving the Kirkpatrick Foundation’s Safe & Humane mission to make Oklahoma the safest and most humane place to be an animal by 2032.
