Education

“Education is the key. With a really good education, you have a much broader view of the world. Well-educated people can seek help for themselves. They can help others.”
Laura Bush

I Am Texas is an annual competition that launched after 1,000 kids made history together in 2022 by breaking the Guinness World Record for the Largest Published Book in the World (by kids)! We encourage kids to share their Texas story through writing and art. Help us spread the mission of The Bryan Museum by giving students opportunities to build confidence, to use their voice, and to preserve our Texas history by bringing it to life for the next generation.

Teacher Resources

As part of The Bryan Museum's mission to bring the history of Texas and the American West to life, the Museum's Education department provides invaluable resources for students and teachers including workshops, lesson plans, field trip access, a writing and art contest, and traveling exhibitions for schools and classroom use.
