Austin Creative Reuse is a nonprofit thrift shop and donation center on Wheless Lane where you'll dig through bins and shelves of secondhand craft supplies, fabric, art materials, and odd bits of ephemera, all diverted from the landfill and priced to move. It's part treasure hunt and part community workshop, so it helps to come with an open mind about what you'll find rather than a specific shopping list.

Austin

Three floors of exhibits trace the "Story of Texas" from its Indigenous peoples through Spanish colonization, revolution, and statehood, with the museum's IMAX screen and the special-effects Texas Spirit Theater rounding out a visit. You'll spot it from down Congress Avenue by the giant bronze Lone Star out front, just a few blocks north of the Capitol.

History Museum

Austin

Thinkery is Austin's children's museum, set in the Mueller development on the city's east side, where hands-on exhibits invite kids to tinker with light, water, gears, and circuits rather than just look. Plan around the schedule if you can—the museum stays open late on Tuesdays, a quieter window than the weekend crowds.

Museum

Austin

Blanton Museum of Art, on the University of Texas campus, holds one of the largest university art collections in the country, spanning European paintings, modern and contemporary American work, and a deep collection of Latin American art. The first thing many visitors notice is Ellsworth Kelly's "Austin," a free-standing stone building with luminous colored-glass windows that sits just outside the main galleries.
