Here's an editorial description for visitors: The Art of Banksy: "Without Limits" gathers reproductions and authenticated works by the anonymous British street artist into a touring exhibition that lands in Austin's East Side, walking distance from the bars and taquerias of East 5th Street. Expect familiar stenciled images—the girl with the balloon, the rats, the protest pieces—presented with context about Banksy's rise from Bristol graffiti to global provocateur, though it's worth knowing the show is unauthorized and not curated by the artist himself.

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.
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.
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.
