The Walmart Museum
105 N. Main Street
Bentonville, AR
(479) 273-1329
www.walmartmuseum.com
The Walmart Museum is as much a part of
Walmart’s history as the exhibits and artifacts that
it houses. First opened in 1990, the museum was
known as the Walmart Visitor Center. But as times
changed and the term “Visitor Center” came to
refer more to regional, state, and local tourism offices, it became apparent that a name
change was needed. And so, today, The Walmart Museum carries on the mission to
educate, engage, and inspire visitors about the heritage of Walmart.
Free Admission
The Walmart Museum features Walton's 5&10, a world-class exhibit gallery and The
Spark Café Soda Fountain.
Hours
