The Oklahoma Museums Association will lead an online conversation by featuring a hashtag and theme for each day of the week. All museums and cultural institutions are encouraged to use the daily hashtag in addition to the Oklahoma Museums Week hashtag to post content surrounding their institution’s mission, programming, collection and exhibitions.

Governor Stitt issued a proclamation declaring March 12-18, 2023 as Oklahoma Museums Week. Earlier, OMA reached out to all Oklahoma legislators to let them know what museums and cultural institutions are in their district.
