Umlauf Sculpture Garden + Museum
About
605 Azie Morton Rd, Austin, TX 78704, USA Get directions
Tucked into a wooded slope near Zilker Park, the Umlauf displays the work of sculptor Charles Umlauf—who taught for decades at UT Austin—along shaded outdoor paths where bronze and stone figures sit among the trees rather than behind glass. Plan around the limited hours: it's open just a few days a week, and the garden setting means the experience shifts with the weather and the light.

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.
