An Evening at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
Thursday, June 9, 2005, 6:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m.
An Evening at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum Join fellow preconference attendees for a joint opening reception at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. Located in downtown Austin, the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum tells the story of Texas with three floors of interactive exhibits; a 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’s past. The museum also has a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and a museum store with something for the Texan in everyone.
