Thanks to the management and employees of Conoco/ Phillips 66 for maintaining and supporting this outstanding museum. You will be amazed at what the employees of Phillips 66 have created over the decades. This a great American Story. 15,000 patents! Their work products are in so many other products that we all use daily.

This is the type of surprises that I like. Passing thru Bartlesville we drove by and noticed the museum. Stope in and it was a great stop. I learned a lot about Phillips how it became Phillips 66. Due to COVID, we have the museum to our selves. Not to mention, it was free. IT was well worth the stop.

Very good museum that tells the history of the Phillips Oil Company, their products and other ventures. The museum is free and you can take pictures. They have a short film which gives a good overview of the company and then you wander through various displays, which have more information on items mentioned in the film. As many reviewers mention, it is a corporate museum, so it is a little one sided, but I think it is worth a stop if you are in Bartlesville. I found it interesting to understand how the oil industry developed, how a distribution network was built and how so many products were developed from oil. You can see it quickly in 30 minutes, or if you read every display it might take 90 minutes. There is no dedicated parking, but free street parking is available throughout the area. I enjoyed my visit and would recommend this museum. Kids will probably be bored, it is geared towards adults. Free

We tried to visit. Trip advisor says it is open 10 to 4, but a sign on the door says open by appointment only. Reservations have to be made at least 7 days in advance.

It was a bit corporate, but there were interesting facts that I learned while there. I did not know that they helped invent the hoola hoop. That was a fun one. Also some interesting historical pieces and oil machinery equipment on display.

This traces the history of Phillips Petroleum Company from the early years of exploration for oil by Frank and L. E. Phillips all the way up to the takeover (merger) by Conoco Oil in 2002. It takes up a whole floor of a converted bank building and is free to the public. There are many audio stops and an introductory movie. Very well done.

It only took me an hour to explore this interesting little museum dedicated to Phillips 66. There was a 10 minute movie to watch and a large amount of memorabilia, as well as a good history of the founders and the people who have made P66 what it is today. Very worthy of a visit.

Not someplace that you would travel a long distance to see, but an interesting way to spend some time if you are in Bartlesville. I enjoyed seeing all the memorabilia and the insights into how gasoline was marketed before people became addicted to cars and gasoline. It is obviously a large puff piece for the Company and all the wonderful things it has done for Bartlesville, the State of Oklahoma, America and the world, but if that bothers you, you probably wouldn't have even considered going there in the first place.
