Tulsa Museums & History

Tulsa was known as the Oil Capital of the World when the area first became developed. Since then, the city has made a successful business out of promoting the stories and roughneck history of the Oklahoma range. Watch one of the most over the top productions of "Oklahoma!," view Native American art, and learn more about the area's history at these great Tulsa museums.

Kick up your heels to the familiar refrains of "Oklahoma!" at Discoveryland USA, an outdoor amphitheater that plays the classic musical to the hilt. You'll see the theater's award-winning production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" complete with cowboys on horseback, covered wagons and more.
