SYNERGY SPARK CURIOSITY


FRIENDS OF SCIENCE MUSEUM OKLAHOMA,
Each spark begins somewhere. Sometimes it’s a question, a glance through a telescope, a moment of awe at how something works. But more often, it begins with someone—someone like you.
At Science Museum Oklahoma, we believe curiosity is the driving force behind innovation, and imagination is the foundation of progress. For more than 65 years, our museum has been a place where sparks ignite. Children and adults alike find the fuel to explore, experiment, and dream.

Through the last year, that flame burned brighter than ever. The opening of Love’s Planetarium, a renewed focus on revitalizing the museum, and a commitment to reaching every corner of our community have all moved us forward. With nearly 600,000 guests through our doors, our work extended far beyond exhibits. From thrilling science demonstrations to beloved events like Tinkerfest and STEAM Live, every experience was designed to light a fire within.
But none of this happens on its own.
It is your support, your time, your gifts, your belief in what we do, that carries the flame forward. Whether you are a member, a donor, a board member, a volunteer, or a staff member, you are the reason this museum continues to be a catalyst for discovery after so many decades.
Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for sparking the moments that matter. We look ahead with gratitude and excitement for all that is still to come.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Sherry Marshall
John E. Kirkpatrick President & CEO
ILLUMINATING the Universe
When Love’s Planetarium opened on September 20, 2024, it reignited a passion for astronomy in our community. Since then, more than 126,000 guests have experienced the wonder of space through over 2,000 shows. On most days, the planetarium offers seven shows, plus one in Spanish each Saturday.
Most shows in the Love’s Planetarium are presented live by our expert staff, a rare approach that sets us apart from nearly every other planetarium in the country. Each presentation is led by our passionate team, making no two shows exactly alike. Guests can explore beyond the iconic dome through hands-on exhibits, including Mars missions, solar system simulations, and real images from the James Webb and Hubble telescopes.

This year also brought special programming like Black Hole Week, Space Day, and Sally’s Night, presented in partnership with the Smithsonian and sponsored by Bank of Oklahoma and Allied Arts.
126,698 GUESTS AND 2,000+ SHOWS SINCE REOPENING 5-7 SHOWS PER DAY PLUS 1 IN Spanish WEEKLY MOST REQUESTED PLANET:

UNEARTHING Curiosity
Expedition: Dinosaur premiered on October 11, 2024 and it lit a spark of prehistoric fascination that carried through the winter months. Originally scheduled to close in January, the exhibit was extended through February 2nd due to overwhelming popularity.
Spanning 5,000 square feet and brought to life by Exhibit Design Group and Stage 9 Exhibitions, the experience featured more than ten animatronic dinosaurs and interactive stations designed to immerse guests in ancient ecosystems.
From coloring their own creatures in Dino Draw Alive to shaping terrain in the Augmented Reality Sandbox, guests explored how the prehistoric world may have looked and felt. The Interactive Egg Incubator, complete with a five-finger robotic arm, offered a closer look at the science behind each species.
Dinosaur fossils were hidden throughout the museum, inviting visitors to investigate, imagine, and ignite a love for natural history that could last a lifetime.

A SPARK That Moves Us
While our eyes often turn upward in the planetarium, Finity reminds us to stay grounded in creativity and connection. Standing 25 feet tall just outside our doors, this remarkable sculpture invites guests to experience the museum before they even step inside.
Finity is the only permanent installation by artist and inventor Tom Shannon in the United States. Its rotating polyhedrons invite wonder, play, and reflection, reminding us that science and art move forward together.
Thanks to generous support from the Kirkpatrick Family Fund, we began conservation efforts this year to preserve this iconic piece for generations to come.
Finity reflects our commitment to caring for both the museum and the spirit of discovery that surrounds it.


Igniting WONDER Through Illusions
In March 2025, the smART Space gallery debuted POV: Perspectives in Anamorphic Art, an exhibition that blends science and creativity to transform both what we see and how we see it.
Featuring internationally recognized artists including Jonty Hurwitz, Leon Keer, Michael Murphy, Carnovsky, and Candace Hicks, the exhibit blends optical illusions, light, and movement to reveal hidden dimensions.
Standout moments include Mahbooba, a kinetic installation made from 361 suspended elements, and more than 50 illusions that spark curiosity with every glance. Artist Leon Keer visited the exhibition on June 2, offering guests a rare, firsthand perspective.
Located on the museum’s second floor, smART Space continues to be a place where imagination fuels discovery. POV is included with general admission and remains on view through March 2026.

FUELING Weather Wisdom
– MIKE MORGAN

In a state where weather can change in an instant, understanding the science behind it is essential. In 2025, KFOR’s 4Warn Storm School brought that science to life at Science Museum Oklahoma.
Thanks to generous donor support like that from OG&E, this stage has become a launchpad for discovery both inside and outside the museum. Science Museum Oklahoma is the perfect setting to learn about weather phenomena and students love this program.
Launched on January 22, the program was hosted eight times throughout the year by expert meteorologists from KFOR. These sessions gave students a hands-on look at how storms form, how scientists track them, and how to stay safe when severe weather strikes.
Each event turned uncertainty into knowledge and sparked a new level of interest in the science of weather. Young Oklahomans left feeling more prepared, more curious, and more connected to the world above them.

Future Builders, SPARKED Here
At Science Museum Oklahoma, we are proud to support TeamOKC e’possums, a student-led robotics team competing in the FIRST Robotics system. For the past four years, the museum has served as their home base, offering space, resources, and encouragement as they explore the world of engineering and innovation.
In 2025, the team competed in three events, including an invitation to the FIRST Championship in Houston. Their success is a powerful reminder of what happens when students are supported and inspired to lead.
This April, the museum opened a new robotics exhibit in the Aviation Wing, giving all guests a glimpse into the future these students are building. We are grateful to the Argosy Foundation for making this work possible. 4 YEARS OF STUDENT INNOVATION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCIENCE MUSEUM OKLAHOMA 3 COMPETITIONS THIS YEAR 1

KIRKPATRICK LEGACY
Admiral John E. Kirkpatrick was born February 13, 1908, in Oklahoma City. After graduating from Central High School in 1925 and furthering his studies at West Point, the Marion Institute, and the U.S. Naval Academy (class of 1931), he married Eleanor Blake of Mangum in 1932. A distinguished World War II gunnery officer, he spent 54 months at sea aboard the USS North Carolina before serving on the USS Alaska and USS Oklahoma City. In 1950 he founded Kirkpatrick Oil Company, exemplifying both entrepreneurial vision and civic devotion.
John and Eleanor Kirkpatrick were esteemed pillars of Oklahoma City, their boundless generosity enriching arts and education across the state. Today the Kirkpatrick Foundation continues their philanthropic legacy, and Science Museum Oklahoma owes its very existence to their unwavering support.
