Visit the Mary Kay Museum, the fascinating place that honors the life and legacy of Mary Kay Ash, one of America's most successful businesswomen. You can tour the lobby and the office Mary Kay uses, located on the 13th floor. Interestingly, 13 was Mary Kay's lucky number; she founded the company on Friday, the 13th. The museum is an excellent opportunity to learn about Mary Kay's innovative business ideas and accomplishments. You can even catch a motivational speech by Mary Kay Ash in the theater. The Keepers of the Dream Independent National Sales Director Hall of Honor is also a must-see, as it pays tribute to the top achievers in the independent sales force who continue to spread Mary Kay's dream around the globe.
