The Executive Director of the OMA Alumni Association Dr. Danette Boyle explained that the year-long restoration project was undertaken in order to better preserve the legacy of the OMA for new generations. The museum's focus is on the history of the academy between 1919 and 1971.

The project was managed by Dr. Bob Blackburn, prior executive director of the Oklahoma History Center in Oklahoma City.

OMA alumni, family and friends participated in a fundraising campaign to pay for the Museum restoration.
