South Texas Heritage Center
One part of the Witte Museum is the South Texas Heritage Center. This consists of a two floor exhibit with Texas memorabilia everywhere.
Witte Museum Art
Parts of the Witte Museum are currently under construction, but they still have plenty of art to admire. My favorites depicted the Mission life in South Texas.
National Geographic Earth Explorers
For my last event while in San Antonio, I chose to visit the National Geographic Earth Explorers exhibit at the Witte Museum. The website explains that you will “Follow six, National Geographic scientists on their adventures through Earth’s diverse eco-zones and discover what it takes to survive and study in some of the planet’s most extreme conditions.” The highlights are the videos sprinkled throughout the exhibit, but these photos will give you an idea of what to expect.
Stagecoach and Stuff
Yes, the Briscoe Western Art Museum is huge. Sprinkled among the art on three floors, they have a stagecoach, a wagon, a windmill, a diorama of the Battle of the Alamo, and lots of other sights to see. This Museum has quickly become one of my favorites in San Antonio.
