Texas History Galleries

More than 700 original artifacts help to tell the story of Texas in this expansive exhibition space. The first floor features Becoming Texas, which showcases Texas’ Indigenous groups and their interactions with European explorers prior to Mexican Independence. The second floor covers the Texas Revolution, Statehood, the Civil War and the Texas Centennial. On the third floor, visitors can explore the industries that built Texas, as well as science, technology and pop culture from the Lone Star State. Artifacts are continually added, bringing new stories to the Museum each week. Plan your visit at TheStoryofTexas.com .
