Our Mission

The Sam Noble Museum at The University of Oklahoma inspires minds to understand the world through collection-based research, interpretation and education.

Our Vision

As one of the finest museums, we are at the heart of our community, collectively working to inspire understanding, appreciation and stewardship of the earth and its peoples.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We are committed to achieving a diverse, equitable and inclusive community by embracing each person’s unique contributions, background and perspectives. We recognize that fostering an inclusive environment for all, with particular attention to the needs of historically marginalized populations, is vital to the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of our institutional mission. This view enhances the experience for all faculty and staff, students and for the communities and audiences that we engage.
