Tulsa

Tulsa is the second largest city in the state of Oklahoma, with a population of nearly 400,000. The city is nicknamed the ‘Oil Capital of the World’ for its oil production up until the 20th century. The economic success from the oil led to the expansion of modern buildings and residential estates. The city became so pleasant that it acquired the new nickname ‘America’s Most Beautiful City’.

The history of Tulsa can be experienced through museums and historic art galleries. The Gilcrease Museum holds the world’s largest collection of art of the American West. The museum is also home to an extensive anthropology collection and many outdoor gardens.
