Norman, Oklahoma.- Four years of planning, construction and preparations are about to pay off when the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma opened its new Stuart Wing to the public on Saturday, October 22nd, followed by a special community celebration on Sunday, October 23rd. Admission is free to the public both days. The Stuart Wing provides a new 18,000-square-foot expansion of the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art to house the museum’s many collections acquired within the past 15 years. Designed by noted architect Rand Elliott, the new addition is named the Stuart Wing for OU Regent Jon R. Stuart and his wife, Dee Dee, a member of the art museum’s board of visitors, in recognition of their $3 million lead gift to the campaign to fund the expansion project for the museum and their dedication to the university.
