A lot of companies also have "museums" in their lobby areas- which are just small exhibits that talk about a history. There are also corporations who have art museums- or exhibits. There are also public museums which have strong corporate connexions- like the Museum of Flight in
Seattle with Boeing.

Shell Oil has a museum. The Walter P Chrysler museum (Daimler Chrysler) has just opened in an amazing new facility in Auburn Hills. Home Depot in Atlanta; GM, The Gap (newly opened), Motorola in Schaumburg, IL; Erie Insurance Group in Erie, PA; Hershey in Hershey, PA and Timex in
Waterbury, CT. CIGNA had a museum in Philadelphia, but that might no longer be open due to changes in the corporate structure. England has a museum for Cadbury's chocolate and Colman's Mustard in Norwich.

That's all I can think of that are currently open.
