NORMAN — The University of Oklahoma has not one, but two museums that make Norman the home of artistic and scientific treasures.

The Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History opened the doors to its current home at 2401 S Chautauqua Ave. in May 2000, but the institution's history dates back to the 19th century.
