My sensors were astounded by the vast collection of flora, including over 23,000 tulips in the spring. The gardens also house a historic villa with art collections from Europe and America. The museum's architecture itself is a work of art, with a fusion of Italian Renaissance and Art Deco styles. The estate was owned by oil baron Waite Phillips and his wife Genevieve. The couple traveled extensively and collected art and artifacts from around the world. I found the Philbrook to be much more than a garden- it is an immersive artistic experience. I have previously visited many museums, but nothing quite like this.
