Bullock Texas State History Museum

Mr. Bullock The Texas State History Museum (also known as the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum or the Bullock Museum) is a history museum located in Austin, Texas. The museum, located at 1800 North Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, a few blocks north of the Texas State Capitol, is dedicated to interpreting the constantly unfolding "Story of Texas" to the broadest possible audience through meaningful educational experiences. The Texas State Preservation Board runs the museum, as well as the Texas State Capitol, the Texas Capitol Visitors Center, the Texas Governor's Mansion, and the Texas State Cemetery.



History
Mr. Bullock The Texas State History Museum is named after Bob Bullock, Texas' 38th Lieutenant Governor, who championed the preservation and exhibition of Texas history and worked to establish its establishment. Bullock was the honored guest at the museum's groundbreaking ceremony in April 1999, but died the following June before the museum was finished.


Exhibitions
The Bullock Museum's newly renovated long-term first floor Texas History Gallery titled Becoming Texas debuted in 2018. The exhibition delves into more than 16,000 years of Texas history, beginning with one of the earliest known human-made objects in the Americas, a projectile point discovered at the Gault archaeological site 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Austin. The exhibition also looks at the early American Indian civilizations that cultivated the area before Europeans arrived, European localisation ambitions, and global politics that influenced the growth of early Texas. The third floor focuses on Texas land, culture, and technology, with sections on Texas ranching, oil, civil rights, science, and space exploration, as well as Texas sports and music. The Austin City Limits Theater at the museum features musical performance clips from the long-running PBS television show based in Austin. 


Events and programmes
The Bullock Museum has a full calendar of programmers and events throughout the year. H-E-B Free First Sunday, World Refugee Day, American Indian Heritage Day, and Spooktacular are all large-scale community events. During spring and summer vacations, the museum also hosts shows and social gatherings, lectures and discussions, drop-in preschool programmers, film screenings, and seasonal family activities.
