Looks Like OKPOP Museum Is Still Alive…
Proposed OKPOP museum being put back on Legislature’s agenda

Supporters of the Oklahoma Museum of Popular Culture are going to make another, and perhaps last, pitch to the Oklahoma Legislature.
Commonly known as OKPOP, the proposed museum in Tulsa’s Brady District, has been in limbo for two years because of state budget constraints and a general legislative antipathy toward such projects.
Friday, though, Oklahoma Historical Society Executive Director Bob Blackburn confirmed he expects Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa, to offer legislation in the next few weeks authorizing construction of OKPOP.
The proposal first surfaced Friday morning when Tulsa Regional Chamber President Mike Neal mentioned it at a chamber breakfast.
Legislature: just don’t fund the indian museum on the North Canadian in OKC. Let it die, sell it to OKC. Just get the state and tax payers funds out of it. NO end of legislature surprises for this mistake.
