Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum

We went to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum today. The museum is in downtown Austin, Texas and tells the “Story of Texas” with three floors of interactive exhibits, the special effects show, The Star of Destiny, in the Texas Spirit Theater, and Austin’s only IMAX Theatre, featuring the signature large-format film, Texas: The Big Picture.

A 35-foot-tall bronze Lone Star sculpture greets visitors in front of the Museum, and a colorful terrazzo floor in the Museum’s rotunda features a campfire scene with enduring themes from Texas’ past.

The museum was great, but we were highly disappointed that no photography is allowed in the museum.  The only shots I could get were from the outside and from the rotunda inside.  Here are some of the better ones.
