The museum is situated on 25 acres (93,000 m2) of formal and informal gardens. Originally designed by [Hare \& Hare](/wiki/Hare_%26_Hare "Hare & Hare"), the expansive grounds contain elaborate gardens inspired by [Villa Lante](/wiki/Villa_Lante "Villa Lante"), an Italian country estate north of Rome designed by [Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola](/wiki/Giacomo_Barozzi_da_Vignola "Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola") in 1566\. The formal gardens, with its [rills](/wiki/Rill "Rill") and diagonal walks linking the mansion to the rustic pool below, graced with a classical tempietto, are part of the original design and construction. To the south of the property the gardens extending to the summerhouse were conceived later and completed in 2004\. They feature native Oklahoma plants and a refurbished creek. The bronze sculpture by [Barry Flanagan](/wiki/Barry_Flanagan "Barry Flanagan"), *[Thinker on a Rock](/wiki/Thinker_on_a_Rock "Thinker on a Rock")*, is located in this section.
