Yard Dog Art Gallery
About
916 Springdale Rd Trailer #12, Austin, TX 78702, USA Get directions
Yard Dog focuses on folk and outsider art from self-taught artists across the South, and the work here tends toward the bold, narrative, and handmade rather than the polished gallery-white aesthetic. Tucked into the Springdale Road arts district in East Austin, it's worth checking the current hours before you go, since the gallery keeps a limited and shifting schedule.

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.
