The News On 6 has learned that the University of Tulsa might takeover the management of Gilcrease Museum.

The Gilcrease belongs to the city of Tulsa, which has run it jointly with a private foundation. TU would assume the management duties for the museum, and create a new academic and research area there if the city agrees.

The Trustees of the school have approved looking into it, and the city is now drafting the legal work, which would have to be approved by the city council, and the University trustees.

A representative for Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor said it would not result in a savings for the city, but would improve the operations of the museum.
