        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 it always has: to honor
        Walmart’s legacy, demonstrate its core
        values, and cast a vision of Walmart
        tomorrow.
