It has been said many times that youth is wasted on the young.
Generation Next Meet Our Young Docents
And while that may be the case in many circumstances, it certainly does not describe the passionate young people in our docent program. These four individuals have come together for their love of art and a desire to share that love with others. Here they are in their own words.

"I have always been fascinated by people who could weave together visual art and storytelling in a way that allows me to see something in a new or different light. That is at the heart of what I’m doing at Philbrook. Here, I can share my passion about art, and at the same time, allow someone else to think about a piece of art in a whole new way."
"Desire for the buzzword 'community' and pure volunteerism have gained a new appeal for my generation. This can be seen every day in the young volunteers currently enrolled in the docent program at Philbrook. I’ve met people who share similar interests, and subsequently have become part of my community. Aside from the joy and knowledge, I’ve also developed more self-confidence during my docent training. I am so glad I did it."
"The first date I had with my wife was at Philbrook. As we walked the hallways, I was awestruck not only by the art, but also by the stories behind the pieces and the villa, as recounted by the touring docent. Being born and raised in India, I wasn’t exposed much to Western and European art and art history. I saw this as my chance to learn, facilitate and share that rapt moment with others."
"The experience I have received as a docent at Philbrook has been nothing short of life altering. Surrounded by senior docents and tenured educators, I have gained a wealth of knowledge that I will carry on in my further journeys within the art community."

Egyptian Treasures from the
Brooklyn Museum June 6 – September 12, 2010 Helmerich Gallery
For ancient Egyptians, the end of life on earth was merely a portal to a new beginning. Death was an enemy that could be overcome through ingenuity and careful preparation. To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum explores the age-old questions of immortality and life after death through the customs and funerary beliefs observed over nearly four thousand years. The exhibition answers questions about the afterlife, mummies, funerals, and tombs, as it illustrates the variety of strategies used to evade death and, ultimately, live forever. All ancient Egyptians desired to live after death but not everyone had access to the elaborate funeral equipment made for a king. Middle-class artisans and some poorer people made use of cheaper materials and secondhand items in providing for their tombs. In place of vast wealth, they substituted their own creativity to reach the afterlife. The Egyptians believed that the body must be preserved in order to ensure eternal life. The Greek historian Herodotus, who visited Egypt in the fifth century b.c., described three different mummification processes available depending on the deceased’s budget. The stories about the Egyptian gods Re and Osiris, plus a series of magic spells that protected the deceased from danger, provided the knowledge an ancient Egyptian would need to enter, and thrive in, the afterlife.

The Voyage of the Sun God Re Egyptians believed that the sun god Re traveled in a boat across the sky from east to west in the world of the living. Reaching the west, he entered the afterlife and then traveled across the sky of the underworld going eastward. Each hour that the god traveled in the underworld he was attacked by Apophis, a
Osiris and Rebirth Ancient Egyptian understanding of the afterlife is reflected in the story of the god Osiris. Osiris and his wife Isis were Egypt’s beloved first rulers. Osiris’s jealous brother, Seth, invited the king to a party only to trap him in a special human-form box—like a coffin— exactly in Osiris’s dimensions. Seth and his co-conspirators threw

helmerich Gallery Hans Hofmann: Circa 1950 through May 9, 2010, Helmerich Gallery Hans Hofmann created an extraordinary body of work for architect Josep Sert’s 1950 Peruvian city plan called the Chimbote Project. The nine painting studies Hofmann produced for a series of murals form a concise and inspired example of the depth of Hofmann’s strengths as an abstract painter and modernist visionary and form the core of this exhibition, along with other major works from this important year in Hofmann’s career.

To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum June 6 – September 12, 2010, Helmerich Gallery The belief in life after death was central to Egyptian civilization over thousands of years, with death seen as an enemy that could be defeated through ritual and proper preparation. Through jewelry, statuary, funerary vessels and other objects, this exhibition explores how the ancient Egyptians sought to conquer death and create a rich afterlife.

A Look Inside a Mummy In 2007, Dr. Lawrence Boxt, Professor of Clinical Radiology at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York, conducted a CT scan on the mummy of Demetrios featured in To Live Forever. In just two minutes, the CT scan technology took approximately 2,845 images of Demetrios. The scan revealed that he had no broken bones (except for two ribs that were broken during the mummification process), his skull was intact, and he had a full set of teeth. Other than a gall stone found still preserved in the bladder, Demetrios appeared to be a primarily healthy 59-year old man when he died. This led Dr. Boxt to determine that “Either he had an easy life or was carried around a lot. He certainly didn’t do much heavy lifting during his lifetime. He may have died a quiet, natural death.” The Mummy of Demetri[o]s. Roman Period, 50-100 C.E. Painted cloth, gold, human remains, wood, encaustic, gilding. Charles Edwin Wlbour Fund

Grow to Give 2.0 We are excited to partner for the second year in a row with the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and grow more delicious, nutritious produce for the hungry. The South Formal Garden will once again be overflowing with eggplant, lettuce, melons and much more. Dedicated volunteers from the Food Bank will harvest the vegetables and fruit while the hardworking garden staff will oversee growing and production. With new varieties and an abundant amount of containers of herbs and other small edibles, you will be amazed at how beautiful a vegetable garden can be. Be sure to visit the gardens often as the plants change, flower and grow. Exciting Opportunity for Philbrook Members You may take the opportunity to help in this garden by assisting with planting seeds and transplants this spring. Interested members can email the Garden Manager at mmcmillan@ philbrook.org with your name and email address. When planting time comes, she will contact you and ask for help on specific days. There will be multiple planting times with much opportunity to pitch in.
A New Bench with a View The garden staff has redesigned a bed in the gardens, but can you find it? To give you some clues, this spot is located in a quiet but not private place, not far off the path, has incredible views of the gardens and is a new place to sit and admire the gardens from above. Do you know where this new garden is? Answer on Philbrook’s Blog in June.

Friday, April 30 & Saturday, May 1, 2010 Fabulous wines and delicious cuisine all in one terrific place. Philbrook will host one of Tulsa’s most impressive events Friday, April 30 and Saturday, May 1. The tenth biennial Philbrook Wine Experience offers wine and food enthusiasts an unforgettable two-day event with a rare opportunity to meet vintners and winemakers from across the globe along with celebrity chefs for an unparalleled educational and epicurean experience. Be sure to make your reservations early for an event like no other in support of one of America’s leading art museums.
Who Wine Experience Helps When the glasses are empty and the party is over the Philbrook Wine Experience lingers on, funding art education in our community. For more than fifty years, Philbrook has been providing quality arts education for children and adults. Appealing to a wide range of interests, education programs at the museum are integrated with special exhibits and the permanent collection. Our quality programming offers a better understanding of the artistic process, along with hands-on creative learning opportunities. Based on a recent survey, 97% of parents who have participated in Free Family Day agreed that it encourages their family to visit the museum 4-5 times a year. Nearly 1,500 children and adults are visiting the museum on Free Family Day each month. The MyMuseum program is also having a positive impact on the local community and creating devoted repeat visitors to the museum. We are now serving an average of just over 600 children per month (new and returning), with an overall program membership of over 5,700. Arts education offers individuals a heightened awareness and appreciation for the diversity of people, places, and other cultures. Quality visual arts education expands perspectives, sparks imagination and empowers people to view the world around them with a new sense of understanding. Just ask our participants. Once you’ve seen the museum through their eyes, it will never look the same.

Each vintner will pour personal selections from their vineyards and wineries, which have been paired with the menu. A specially designed multi-course dinner created by Chris Shepherd, Chef and Managing Partner of Catalan Food & Wine in Houston, Texas, will be served while celebrity auctioneers, Michael Davis and Karen Sorbo draw the audience into a bidding frenzy during a live auction featuring one-of-a-kind packages secured especially for this wonderful event.

Planned Giving Philbrook is a testament to the power of a legacy. From its inception, planned gifts have defined Philbrook’s ability to grow and thrive, beginning with Waite and Genevieve Phillips’ extraordinary founding gift of Villa Philbrook in 1939. Since that time, thousands of individuals have come to think of Philbrook as their museum, the place to experience an enriching variety of art and activities. The Legacy Society is comprised of individuals who have made financial gifts through wills, trusts and other planned gifts. These Legacy Society members sustain and strengthen all that is unique about your museum’s art collection, gardens and grounds, historic home and educational programs. You too can become a part of Philbrook’s legacy with planned giving. Waite and Genevieve Phillips began Philbrook with their legacy gift. You can make this act of generosity your own. If you would like additional information or have questions, please contact Philbrook at 918.748.5314. Have you already made a provision for Philbrook Museum of Art in your will or estate planning? If so, we would appreciate knowing of your generosity and would be pleased to include you in the Legacy Society. Information will be kept in confidence.

Rita Willis, thank you for loving Philbrook Rita Willis was devoted to the museum she loved, Philbrook. Retired from the travel business, she journeyed the world for both work and pleasure, experiencing the art of many cultures. Her interest in Native American art led her to donate ethnographic materials and to volunteer with the Chapman Library.

Beetle-Mania In ancient Egypt, amulets in the form of the scarab beetle were placed over the hearts of the mummified dead. Known as “Heart Scarabs”, they were seen as a symbol of new life and resurrection. Actual Egyptian artifacts inspired these hand-formed dichroic glass scarabs, designed by Cesar Palma. These beautiful pieces come in a wide variety of colors and styles. Available exclusively at the Philbrook Museum Shop.
