Enjoy this amazing piece of iconic American film history and "stay gold." The Outsiders House Museum is a museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, about Francis Ford Coppola's coming-of-age movie,The Outsiders (1983), and the 1967 novel by the same name it adapts by S.

The museum was created by hip-hop artist Danny Boy O'Connor, who is a long-time fan of The Outsiders.
How do I purchase tickets for a tour?
I had become friends with a few of the actors who portrayed those villains, so it would make me feel a bit skeevy to have to place their portrayals in any sort of preferential order. I was also blessed to have voiced two classic Batman villains in the recent animated films, so there was the additional risk of being perceived as showing favoritism among those. Also collected are photos and postcards showing the streets and buildings of Tinseltown during its heyday.
Tour the film locations and see where the Curtis Brothers lived.
DiCaprio, who was in northeast Oklahoma for filming of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” showed up to the Outsiders House during business hours and took a tour in July.

The museum provides an intimate look into the characters and themes of S. E. Hinton’s classic work and film adaptation, featuring the painstakingly restored house and extensive collections. The director and film crews departed, the actors and props scattered, and the local extras went back to their day to day lives. But, on a quiet Tulsa street corner, the iconic “Curtis Brothers House,” the modest bungalow where the scrappy, close-knit Greasers lived, loved, fought and reconciled, remained a tangible testament to the cinematic legend. Burgess was well-known for a wide variety of other monumental film and television performances (Of Mice and Men Twilight Zone, etc.).

In 2009, while on tour, O'Connor had a three-day layover in Tulsa and decided to explore the locations of the film, where he rediscovered the house. Afterwards, he would continue to visit the location on a regular basis, and bought the house in 2016.

Fans can look off of the porch and gaze into the sunset like Ponyboy would have, and go into the room where he reads the bittersweet letter from his best friend. The museum’s extensive memorabilia collection contains artifacts like wardrobe from the film, posters and books from around the world, and a green towel autographed from Sodapop himself (Rob Lowe). The house was privately owned for many years, and had started to fall into disrepair. In 2016, the musician Danny Boy O’Connor purchased the building.

Then, film crews, a developing lab, and a gym where actors could bulk up and trim down. The Outsiders House Museum was created by Danny Boy O’Connor, formerly of the hip-hop group House of Pain. It’s been a labor of love for O’Connor, who bought the house several years ago and renovated it. To stay true to the novel, the film was shot on location in Tulsa. The house where the Curtis brothers quarrel and bond with each other and the rest of the greasers is now the home of this museum. If the phrase “stay gold” means something to you, you might recognize this house.
As progress toward the museum’s grand opening continues, we will add more information to the FAQ’s section. Please check back for additional questions, answers and updates. The building was in disrepair when O’Connor bought it back in 2015 after visiting the tenants and tracking down the owner. Before he embarked on the project, he hadn’t been sure what he was going to do next, having plowed through most of his savings. Now, O'Connor is preparing for a showing of a 4K Blu-ray edition of the film, part of a weekend of events of this Saturday and Sunday.
Currently, the only way to visit museum is by buying tickets to a guided tour. The tour consists of the house and a bus ride around the city to other filming locations. Tickets are available online and cannot be purchased at the house itself. If you happen to visit on a day where a tour is not offered, you are still encouraged to take photos of the exterior and can walk onto the porch. Down the street from the house is Crutchfield Park, where the infamous fountain scene took place.
