TULSA, Okla. — It's a project years in the making. "Oklahoma pop culture is such an honest authentic reflection of who we are as a people," said OKPOP Director Jake Krumwiede. "So really, this isn't just a museum about popular culture, it's really the story of us, the story of who we are as Oklahomans." The Oklahoma Museum of Popular Culture or "OKPOP" has been in the works for 15 years. In 2015, $25 million in funding was approved by the state to help fund the project.
