Science Museum Oklahoma presents Spin! The Art of the Modern Zoetrope, now on display in the museum’s smART Space galleries through August 2027. The exhibition features works by eight artists who reimagine the 19th-century zoetrope, an early animation device that creates the illusion of motion through rapidly sequenced images. Interactive exhibits explore motion, perception, vision persistence and animation, and are included with museum admission.

Join us on Saturday, October 10 for a Coffee & Conversation focused on food preservation! Donna Stangl-Jung, Family & Consumer Sciences/4-H Extension Educator at OSU, will discuss the basics of dehydrating, freezing, and canning your own food. If you have a favorite recipe you'd like to share, feel free to bring copies with you.

Other exhibition highlights include antique prints by Jose Guadalupe Posada, Manuel Manilla, and Dia de Muertos, as seen in contemporary paintings and prints from Mexico. Visitors will also experience the celebration and beliefs behind Dia de Muertos with the inclusion of an elaborate Mexican style ofrenda.

The Oklahoma History Center Museum, in partnership with the Vietnamese American Heritage Community of Oklahoma, is proud to announce Our Journeys, presented by Vietnamese Boat People, a multimedia traveling exhibition on display September 12, through January 4, 2027.

Created by New Jersey-based nonprofit Vietnamese Boat People, the exhibition centers the voices of Vietnamese Americans through oral histories, photographs, and interactive elements that explore migration, memory, and resilience across generations. The exhibit debuted in 2025, marking the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the displacement of millions of Vietnamese refugees whose stories continue to shape communities across the country—including here in Oklahoma.

The exhibition is included with regular museum admission.

Every autumn, hundreds of thousands of monarch butterflies embark on an incredible, multi-generational journey from Canada, traveling through Oklahoma on their way to Mexico. They fly over our city streets, through our parks and even visit our yards! Monarch populations have tragically and sharply declined since the 1990s. Many efforts are being made to support the survival of these beloved butterflies, including tagging. 
Monarch tagging is utilized to track monarch flight pathways, survival rates, identify critical habitat, and more. Tagging is a simple way we can work together as a community to contribute crucial data to the teams of people working to protect our flying friends. 
Edmond Urban Forestry and Okies for Monarchs invite you to join a hands-on community science event in which you can play an active role in helping save this magnificent species! Dr. Emily Geest, ecologist and butterfly conservationist, will be sharing her knowledge as well. Join us for an afternoon of learning and monarch tagging.
