Tulsa, the second largest city in the state of Oklahoma, is a particularly unique American destination. Tulsa has one of the largest concentrations of art deco architecture in the U.S., due to a building boom in the early 20^th century. The city displays a dazzling collection of art deco structures in its downtown and midtown area. Structures include the Mid-Continent Tower, the Boston Avenue Methodist Church, and the Phil tower. Various industries are also headquartered in Tulsa; petroleum production plays a significant role in the city's economy.

Tulsa is unique in that it is influenced by the Midwest, Southwest, and Southern cultural regions. These influences are seen in the various art offerings that Tulsa has.
