Wowee! Coming from Little Rock capitol, which was practically barren, to the OK City capitol was crazy-time. Oklahomans must really treasure their art, because not only was it everywhere in the building, but they have their own gallery, the "Governor's Art Gallery" funded by the OK Arts Council, with changing exhibits of Oklahoma artists, and probably a director, too.
Also the decor and interior was very colorful, bright colors of red, blue and greens painted in the dome and on the architecture and detailing. 
The paintings of governors and OK notable peoples were all different - style, genre, the whole deal - and labled extensively.
Like the Little Rock capitol, however, the senate and house chambers were both closed for viewing! So we could not examine how creative their workspace is.

Like the Little Rock capitol it was also designed in the neo-classical, DC-like style, and completed in 1917. A huge building, not sure how many square feet, but definitely comparable to the Little Rock capitol as well.
There was also an oil rig in the front of the building, no doubt noting proudly their success in the industry.
We also stopped by the Oklahoma City Memorial of the bomb that took place in 1995. It was deeply moving and very sad, but it was very well-done in memory of those that died on that day.
