201 East 21st St Jester A232 (2nd floor, Austin, TX 78712, USA Get directions
Tucked into the second floor of UT Austin's Jester Center, the Christian-Green Gallery is an easy stop to miss if you don't know to look for it, set among the dorms and dining halls rather than a traditional museum row. Expect rotating student and contemporary shows in a compact space, and plan around its narrow hours — it's open to the public only on Wednesday afternoons.

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.
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.
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.
