Beginning June 19, art lovers
will have a rare opportunity to explore 2000-year old treasures at their
leisure, and pamper themselves in style, thanks to a special travel
experience offered jointly by the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and the
Renaissance Oklahoma City Hotel.

    The Oklahoma City Museum of Art is the final North American venue for
Roman Art from the Louvre, on view June 19 through October 12, 2008. The
sixteen-week exhibition, so large it will occupy the Museum's ground floor
special exhibition gallery and the eight second floor galleries of the
Museum, will feature 184 works, some weighing more than 6,000 pounds. An
unprecedented exhibition of ancient masterworks, drawn from the Louvre's
unparalleled collection, it provides a rare and historic opportunity to
view these magnificent works, many of which have not been seen by the
public in decades and most of which have never traveled to the United
States.

    "We're excited to have such a wonderful collection made available to us
here in Oklahoma City," said Renaissance Marketing Director Tracy Swibold.
"And for the Renaissance to be able to participate in this event is great
for us, and great for the community."

    Organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Musee du Louvre,
and selected by Daniel Roger and Cecile Giroire, curators in the Greek,
Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities Department at the Louvre, the exhibition
features masterworks that highlight the diversity of artistic production
that characterizes Roman art.

    "Guests will be able to explore the daily life, religion, citizenship,
art and architecture of an empire over 2,000 years old," Swibold said.
"Then come back to the present and pamper yourself at the savvy Renaissance
Hotel, with a full body massage and a dip in the pool. Our staff will treat
you like the emperor's you are!"
