BENTONVILLE (KFSM) - Hundreds of international associates were in Bentonville on Tuesday (June 2) to tour the Walmart Museum.

Alan Dranow, Senior Director of the Walmart Heritage Group, said more than six thousand people are expected to go through the museum this week.

"Aside from doing a really deep cleaning of the museum, we make sure the exhibits are fresh and that they're reflective of this year," he said.

The museum features displays on the history of the world's largest retailer. Dranow said it's great to share the Walmart story with people from all over the world.

"We have such a wonderful story and such a rich history," he said. "The museum was designed to share that story."

Laset Najera, an associate from Mexico, said it was exciting to learn about Walmart's history.

"It's going back to the roots," she said. "Knowing exactly what happened here and how everything started, so that we can inspire ourselves and make changes in our country."

The museum is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
