UTSA's Institute of Texan Culture
UTSA’s Institute of Texan Cultures is San Antonio's cultural experience museum, dedicated to enhancing the understanding of cultural history, science, and technology and their influence upon the people of Texas. Our team develops exhibits, programs, and publications that encourage acceptance and appreciation of our differences as well as our common humanity. We strive to provide a forum for diversity and a showcase for the dynamics of cultural history. UTSA’s Institute of Texan Cultures opened in conjunction with the 1968 HemisFair celebration as the Texas State Exhibits Building. At the conclusion of HemisFair, the Texas State Exhibits Building was renamed the Institute of Texan Cultures, and the following year it was officially bequeathed by the Texas State Legislature to The University of Texas System. In February of 1986, The University of Texas System designated the Institute of Texan Cultures as a campus of The University of Texas at San Antonio.
