I expected a modest little museum and found way more. This is a fascinating place, celebrating not only a great song writer (his guitars! original manuscripts! movie!) but also dramatizing the Dust B…Full review by Ann L
I am a great fan of Woody Guthrie and the history and music of his time. I would like to know how long would I need to thoroughly see this museum, including the exhibits and films. I have no problem spending hours or even days but would not want to shortchange myself. It's a long time dream and will be the only time I will ever go there. For reference, I spent 2 days in the Rock and Roll Museum, one day only in the early part, Woody and all the influences.

Not sure how much time but know they are only on the weekends because of Covid and you MUST sign up ahead of time for timed entry
I am a HUGE fan of Woody Guthrie and am flying in from Boston just to see this museum. I imagine there's not a lot to do in Tulsa besides this. I am wondering how long would it take to REALLY see this museum. All the exhibits, listening to the music, watching the films. I have been known to spend all day at museums. Is this one like this? I need to know this to make plane and hotel reservations. Are 2 days enough? One day at the museum, evening in Tulsa, leave the next day?
A:
Yes one day is enough,we really enjoyed it. Around the corner on the same block is a student art studio called a-ha that is neat also. Don't forget to check out the center of the universe in …
Yes one day is enough,we really enjoyed it. Around the corner on the same block is a student art studio called a-ha that is neat also. Don't forget to check out the center of the universe in walking distance. We did all of these and had lunch on the green in a day.
How long is the tour? How much time is spent here?
A:
There is no tour..........you go at your own pace. It's a very small museum, crammed full of well-displayed items. It's got a lot of interactive displays too. If you listen to everything and …
There is no tour..........you go at your own pace. It's a very small museum, crammed full of well-displayed items. It's got a lot of interactive displays too. If you listen to everything and read everything - probably 3 hours. You can actually do the whole thing, picking and choosing, in 1 hour - 1 1/2 hours.
