Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art
The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art is a non-profit art museum located on the campus of St. Gregory's University in Shawnee, Oklahoma, USA and operates independently of near-by St. Gregory's University. The museum works under the belief that art enriches individual lives and enhances the entire community.
The museum’s collection includes over 3,500 artworks, and spans over 6,000 years of art, and represents cultures from around the world including ancient Egyptian, Chinese, pre-Columbian, African, Native American, European, and American art. The museum houses the official portrait of Pope Pius X and Oklahoma’s only Egyptian mummies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stgregorys.edu/html/page.php?pageid=124&mainmenu=3 )〕 The museum includes a gift shop that sells educational toys, publications related to their exhibitions and arts and crafts from local artisans. The MGMoA is a member of the Oklahoma Association of Museums〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.okmuseums.org/museum-directory/ )〕 and a member agency of Oklahoma City's Allied Arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.alliedartsokc.com/Member_Agencies )〕 The museum hosts the annual festival Arts Trek.
==History==
The museum is named for Fr. Gregory Gerrer, a Benedictine monk of St. Gregory's Abbey, who was an art historian and art collector. During his travels in the United States, Europe, Africa and South America, he acquired art and artifacts to exhibit in Oklahoma. In 1919, the collection moved to Benedictine Hall where it was called St. Gregory's Abbey Art Gallery and Museum. G. Patrick Riley visited the museum as a child in the early 1940's, and credits these visits as his inspiration to become an artist. Starting in 1962, the Gerrer collection was on long term loan to the Oklahoma Science and Arts Foundation in Oklahoma City. St Gregory's Abbey built a new building as a permanent home for the collection with matching funds from the Mabee Foundation. The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art opened in 1979. The building was designed by Chadsey/Architects from Tulsa, Oklahoma.〔 In 2004, the museum received a Redbud Award from the Governor's Conference on Tourism. In 2012, the museum's spring festival ''Arts Trek'' was awarded the Outstanding Event by Central Oklahoma Frontier Country Marketing Association.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://newsok.com/shawnee-festival-honored-as-outstanding-event-in-central-oklahoma/article/3694788 )〕 Arts Trek received the award again in 2014. The museum received an ''Arts in Education Award'' from the 2015 Governor's Arts Awards.
