UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures

MAKE time to Stop HERE! This museum covers all the cultures and nationalities that lived and built Texas. First and only place that presented the tribes that lived and settled in this area. They offer artifacts & photos along with full size recreations. They have rooms full of outfits, picture, furnishings, documents from England Ireland Germany Mexico Phillipines Scotland Czech, Jewish culture,etc. They show a video showing how all our cultures and nationalities are mixed & blended inyo our makeup. We should enjoy & respect our differences. Everyone from child to adult will learn a lot working their way through the museum. They also have rotating exhbits. This week it was how ranching evolved. Volunteers are. Very knowlegable and super friendly. Clean, well organized, with a large selection of international themed souvenirs. The other historic sites only relate the American/Mexican/Spain history of San Antonio. Students & veterans Free. Discount coupons in tourist pamphlets. There is something for everyone at the Institute of Culture in San Antonio. Surprise..room full of heavy metal paraphernalia and classic lunchboxes

Beautiful place, so many exhibits! Sunday is free of charge; beware of knucklehead kids running around like it's Chuck E. Cheese.

This is one of the better yet less unknown attractions in the city. It is one of my favorite museums. The museum starts back as far as 13,000 BC and covers all of the inhabitants of Texas, from the early Native Americans to the many different cultures that immigrated here from the all around the world. There are several areas that clearly depict the various periods and cultures. I would recommend this museum to any tourist and local who hasn't seen it in many years.

This is one of the better yet under appreciated attractions in the city and certainly one of my favorite museums. Housed in a very uniquely shaped structure, the institute has been around almost 50 years. I used to visit as a child but was always rushed through a visit by either family or my school. As an adult I was finally able to do a solo trip and take as much time as I wanted to fully digest and appreciate everything that was presented.Starting back as far as 13,000 BC the museum covers all of the inhabitants of Texas from the early "Indians" to the subsequent cultures that immigrated here from the many diverse parts of our globe. There are several areas that clearly delineate the various periods and cultures. There are many hands on areas and some clever constructs which helps reinforce the message they are trying to convey.

It was my first time going inside. It was very interesting and I did learn a few new things. Inquired about volunteering in the future. Really enjoyed the variety of food that was on the location for this 2019 for people to experience.
