Gilbert Stuart's portrait of George Washington, maybe the most famous image of the first President.


Vermelha chair by Fernando and Humberto Campana, part of the exhibit "Antibodies."

Gilcrease Museum, 1400 N. Gilcrease Museum Road, will give families the chance to see its current exhibit and save a little money throughout the month of August.

In an effort to have the greatest possible number of school-aged children experience the museum's current exhibit "Discover the Real George Washington: New Views from Mount Vernon," the museum is offering free admission to parents and grandparents of school-aged children during the month of August.

Just download and fill out the Admission Fee Waiver Form, and bring it with you -- along with at least one school-aged child -- to the museum. The admission fee for up to two adults will be waived. College students with a valid ID may also receive free admission.

The free admission program is provided through the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation in partnership with the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association

"Discover the Real George Washington: New Views from Mount Vernon" is a multimedia exhibit on the life of America's most iconic Founding Fathers, designed to give viewers a more complete understanding of the very complicated, very human person behind the many myths and legends.

Gilcrease and Tulsa's Philbrook Museum of Art are also participating in the Bank of America's "Museums on Us" program, which gives people who possess a Bank of America credit or debit card with free admission this weekend to these Tulsa museums.

Simply present your Bank of America card along with a photo ID during regular museum hours on Saturday, Aug. 4, or Sunday, Aug. 5. Only one free admission per cardholder.

Philbrook Museum of Art, 2727 S. Rockford Road, is presenting "Antibodies: The Works of Fernando and Humberto Campana, 1989-2009," a mid-career retrospective of the efforts these Brazilian brothers to create works of cutting-edge, innovative design that also are profound statements about the society in which they live.
