Harry Bertoia’s Sounding Sculpture has two scheduled Sunday activations during this free, five-hour visit. The museum’s collection galleries offer additional ways to compare sculpture, the human figure and visual storytelling between two temporary exhibitions.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
At 1 and 3 p.m. on Feb. 14, Harry Bertoia’s Sounding Sculpture is scheduled for sound activations in the Oklahoma City Museum of Art’s Thinking in 3D gallery. Those timed moments anchor a free Access for All visit that also opens the museum’s galleries to visitors of all ages.
Thinking in 3D organizes works around medium, light and movement, bringing together sculptors Lee Bontecou, Harry Bertoia and Frank Stella; kinetic artists Alexander Calder and Martha Boto; and glass artists Preston Singletary, Mary Shaffer and Howard Ben Tré. That grouping gives visitors a way to look across different materials and approaches rather than follow a single artist or period.
The museum identifies Singletary’s Yéil S’aaxw [Raven Hat] as blown and sand-carved glass, and Lisa Hoke’s Come on Down, Oklahoma as made from cardboard packaging, glue and hardware. On Sundays, Bertoia’s Sounding Sculpture has activations at 1 and 3 p.m. Florsheim’s Tiges Lumineuses [Luminous Stems] and Boto’s Intersections lumineuses [Luminous Intersections] are also activated for limited periods during the day, but the museum does not publish their times.

The museum’s exhibition calendar places Feb. 14 after The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art closes Jan. 24 and before Elemental Visions: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and the Moving Image opens Feb. 27. The museum lists several ongoing collection installations, including The Body Observed, Thinking in 3D, From Pop to Minimalist Art, The City as Canvas and Maritime Art, Beach Scenes, and the Seascape. Check the current exhibition listing closer to your visit for the latest on what is on view.
February Access for All includes free admission to exhibitions on view. The event listing also mentions shopping at the Museum Store, but does not publish a separate Valentine’s Day lineup of talks, tours or performances.

The Body Observed examines how artists give meaning to the human form through posture, balance, movement and stillness. Its examples include Everett Shinn’s oil painting Ballerina, from 1911–12, and Alexandra Alaupovic’s bronze Jeunesse Timide [Shy Youth], from 1981. The gallery’s framing invites comparison between the body shown in a private or inward moment and the body presented for others to see.

Storytelling in Art ranges across religion, myth, history, literature and everyday life. Some works adapt existing stories; others suggest fictional scenes through the figures’ gestures and the way they occupy a setting. The museum lists the gallery through Dec. 26, 2027.
The Art Bridges Loans listing schedules Diego Rivera’s La ofrenda (The Offering), a 1931 oil painting, for Storytelling in Art beginning in fall 2026. The overall loan series runs through Nov. 30, 2027, but the museum does not give this individual painting an end date. If seeing Rivera’s work is a priority, check its status closer to Feb. 14.
