About the The American Pigeon Museum & Library
The American Pigeon Museum & Library, located at 2300 Northeast 63rd Street in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is a unique institution that showcases the history and significance of pigeons. Originally formed in 1973 as the American Homing Pigeon Institute, the museum has collected historically significant items and received major contributions from prominent members of the hobby over the years.
Visitors to the museum can explore three main exhibits, learning about the different types of fancy pigeons worldwide, the impact of pigeon carriers on communication during WWI & WWII, and the popularity of pigeon racing as a sporting event. The museum also offers a beautiful setting at the World of Wings, where visitors can learn about various pigeon varieties and enjoy the surroundings.

Reviews of The American Pigeon Museum & Library
"Our co op took a field trip to the American Pigeon Museum. Lauren and her husband were so informative and friendly. The kids did a scavenger hunt and had a wonderful time. We were so impressed by this Museum. The kids even got to hold and pet pigeons! What an amazing experience."
"This museum gave me one of the best experiences of my whole life. I am a huge pigeon fan but this museum is a fun time for anyone willing to learn a bit about these fascinating little guys. They’ve been a part of so much of our history, and they deserve the recognition this museum gives them!! The staff was so lovely and when they saw my pigeon enthusiasm, they took me to hold some of the birds and I even got a peek behind the curtain at their aviary, which is a totally unique privilege I will cherish forever!! Whether you’re visiting the area or have passed by this place all your life and never stepped in, I can’t recommend it enough!!!"
"Wonderful little known museum for a really cool niche bit of history. It only takes about an hour to go through if you take your time to read and look through things. Its free, but you can donate or buy merchandise to support it/the pigeons. I went home with a neat T-shirt that i absolutley love. The exhibits consisted of lots of pictures and artificats. They have a full piegon based library that you can look through and read books and binders while there. The staff were super helpful and let us pet a few of the live fancy pigeons outside while explaining about the different breeds there (pigeons are only housed there for a few hours per day so as to not be caged for too long). This whole venture solidified my want to own one of these marvelous birds who have mostly been forgotten by history. Overall, I highly recommend this place and have even convinced a few friends to go visit."
"Had no idea a place like this existed but it was such a unique experience. The live birds weren't out because of the weather so I hope to go back when it's cooler just to see them. I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something indoor and unique to do. Museum is accessible and good for all ages."
"Great little museum. Had no particular interests in pigeons but decided to check it out and I’m glad we did! Lots to learn about: racing pigeons, messenger pigeons used in battle, show pigeons. The curator working the museum was very friendly and knowledgeable and a total pigeon nerd. She’s awesome!"
