On Sunday, Dec. 13, free gallery admission at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art pairs a 127-work Art Nouveau exhibition with storytime listings for Museum Elf Ginger Jinglefluff.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The Dec. 13 visit can be more than a storytime stop: the museum’s free second-Sunday admission covers every exhibition on view, including a broad survey of Art Nouveau objects from furniture to paintings. One of the three listed storytime times contains a typo, so check that entry before planning around it.
The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art is scheduled to be on view from Oct. 31, 2026, through Jan. 24, 2027. Its 127 works include furniture, jewelry, prints and paintings, offering several kinds of objects to explore during one gallery visit.
That breadth makes the exhibition a substantial reason to spend time in the galleries, rather than treating the afternoon only as a short storytime outing. The show is drawn from the Chrysler Museum of Art; the listing does not name individual works or artists.

Other exhibitions listed for this period offer different routes through the museum: The Body Observed focuses on depictions of the human form, From Pop to Minimalist Art looks at postwar art and its later influence, and Thinking in 3D considers aspects of three-dimensional art. The City as Canvas gathers urban landscape paintings, while Maritime Art, Beach Scenes, and the Seascape brings together work related to the sea.
Art Bridges Loans, with works by Andy Warhol, Diego Rivera, Richard Diebenkorn and others, is listed through Nov. 30, 2027; Storytelling in Art runs through Dec. 26, 2027. These are among the additional gallery choices covered by the free-admission day.
The event page also lists separate Art Nouveau-themed drop-ins on Nov. 21, Dec. 5, Dec. 12 and Dec. 19, including decorative tiles, initial gift tags, Santa photos with Art Nouveau-inspired frames, and wearable charms. They are separate dated listings, not activities announced for Dec. 13.

December Access for All is part of OKCMOA’s free-admission program on the second Sunday of each month, rather than a one-time December offer. The museum credits Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program with supporting free gallery admission for visitors of all ages.
The museum’s visitor information describes the initiative as providing $40 million to 64 museums nationwide and identifies OKCMOA as the only Oklahoma art institution to receive the grant. That local distinction helps explain the regular place Access for All holds in the museum calendar.
