As the majestic Myriad Botanical Gardens and the iconic Stage Center - home of several theater companies - remain major anchor attractions for the Arts District, several new venues have flourished and in one case re-flourished making it an all-inclusive Arts District for Downtown OKC. The Civic Center Music Hall reopened its doors in September 2001, presenting a classic ambiance from stainless steel accents to authentic art deco chandeliers for all to admire. The state-of-the art facility, a product of MAPS project, showcases performances from ballet to Broadway. Wedding, reception and party facilities are also available at the Civic Center Music Hall. The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum is located in the northern area of the Arts District in Downtown OKC. A treasure that will forever be in the hearts of all Americans, the Memorial serves as a remembrance and hope relating to the terrorist bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 1995 claiming 168 lives. In 2001, 650,000 visitors graced the Memorial with over 90% traveling over 30 miles to see the serene, outdoor Memorial and the Memorial Center Museum. The Memorial is detailed with symbolic elements, including the Survivor Tree, which has endured the tragedy that struck Oklahoma City and has endured as a symbol of hope. March 2002, marked a new era for the Oklahoma City Museum of Art who outgrew facilities at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds and relocated to Downtown. The 110,000 sq. foot, 3 story facility, was funded totally in the private sector, raising a cool $23 million for the building and nearly $20 million more for endowment. The Oklahoma City Museum of Art in the Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center presents traveling, Museum-organized, and permanent collection exhibitions and is home to the  most comprehensive collection of Chihuly glass in the world and the tallest tower . The Museum also offers the most comprehensive film and video program in the region, screening independent, foreign, and classic films as well as year around camps and classes for all ages through its Museum School and extensive visitor services, including the Museum Cafe, Museum Store, and Library. Downtown is home to the  Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library . The four-story, 110,000-square-foot Library/Learning Center at Park & Hudson was also a project of MAPS. The facility includes state-of-the-art information services and equipment, classroom space for students of all ages - including adults - as well as traditional library resources. The library is also home to the Downtown College Consortium. The Arts District continues to be the home of the Arts Council of Oklahoma City who host  one of America's top fine arts festivals each spring attracting more than 700,000 patrons each year. The Festival of the Arts celebrates all the various art forms: music, food, visual and performing arts - a little something for everyone.
