phillips petroleum company museum

Wonderful History of the early oil discoveries in Oklahoma and the creation of Phillips 66, still a major oil company today. It's right down town in the middle of Conoco/Phillips offices.

This mansion reeks of history and the glory days of the oil barons. Take a full day to go here and Frank Phillips country estate Woolaroc. My favorite is Frank's barber chair in his master bathroom.

Very informative and well presented in a two level building. Definitely worth going to. Free admission

this was a highlight of Bartlesville. Very well laid out museum that showed the personal and professional side of Frank Phillips and the Phillips' leadership. Price (free) is a bonus.

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.

Its hard to go wrong with a free museum. The museum was very interesting and told the history of the Phillips Oil Company. The people that work there are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable experience.

You cannot go wrong with a free look at history. I spent a solid 90 minutes looking at everything. I am not a "big oil" type person. But as a historical look at this company, it was cool. Enjoyed it. And the greeters are friendly.

Absolutely great! We are petronalia collectors so we have wanted to visit for several years. So much interesting memorabilia and info. Loved it.

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

If you are fascinated by entrepreneurship and oil history this state-of-the-art museum is a chronicle of the Phillips Petroleum Company and its inventions and patents. Accompany this visit with the Frank Phillips Museum and the Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve and you have a full day of discovering the oilman Frank Phillips and his love for the wild west that sparked a global oil & gas corporation.

Want to know what makes this town tick? Then visit this museum. You won't be bored. Vignettes showing the early days of oil drilling, displays are easy to understand and interesting to all ages which explain the processes of drilling and hands on exhibits.

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.

Located a block from the Price Tower, it gives you something else to do while in Bartlesville. I didn't know much about Phillips or the oil industry before going. But, it is a Phillips museum and presents the story of Frank Phillips from that angle.

I thought it was an excellent piece of history & enjoyed learning more about the founder of Phillips Petroleum.

This is a small but good museum detailing history of Phillips Petroleum Co. Definitely worth a stop
