These interactive experiences are sure to make learning fun and exciting!

The Bryan Museum’s Preservation Fund is a restricted fund to help preserve and maintain the building’s infrastructure. As extreme weather conditions continue to create wear and tear on the historic building and grounds, your donation will help us seal windows, repair the original fence from 1895 and reinforce the brick composite of our exterior walls. Preservation of Alfred Mueller’s architectural gem will allow us to continue to house one of the most important collections of Texas and The American West in Galveston.
