Every year (this will be the 11th), the Austin Museum Partnership and member museum in the Austin area hold a city-wide, discover (or rediscover) Austin Museums Day - for free!
This is a great chance to get out and explore the numerous museums in the Austin area, ones you've seen before, ones you didn't know existed. You certainly can't beat the price!
This year, the date is September 14, 2008.
Museums participating are:
Austin Museum of Art - Downtown (I prefer Laguna Gloria, myself, but it's not on the tour)
Austin Nature & Science Center
Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
Butridge Gallery at the Dougherty Arts Center
George Washington Carver Museum
The German Free School (German-Texas Heritage Society)
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum
Mexican American Cultural Center
Beverly S. Sheffield Education Center
South Austin Museum of Popular Culture
Susanna Dickenson Museum
Texas Folklife Gallery - Downtown
Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum
Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve
The links above are to the actual websites. The link to the Austin Museums Day at top will show you what activities are going on at each museum to celebrate the day, and when.
This is by no means a complete listing of Austin museums, just the ones that are participating in this event. This should, however, certainly be enough to keep anyone busy for the day! Hope to run into you there!
