The Art Galleries at Austin Community College
About
6101 Highland Campus Dr, Austin, TX 78752, USA Get directions
The Art Galleries at Austin Community College sit inside the Highland Campus, a former shopping mall the college reinvented as a sprawling academic hub, so the contemporary work on the walls comes with a backstory about reuse and reinvention. Plan to visit midweek—the galleries keep limited weekday hours and close on Mondays—and you'll find rotating exhibitions that lean on student, faculty, and regional artists rather than big-name traveling shows.

Bullock Texas State History Museum
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
Thinkery
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
Blanton Museum of Art
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.
