Group Tours

The Bryan Museum offers a robust field trip experience for students of all ages. The focus of the field trips is to bring the history of Texas and the American West to life through our world class collection of art and artifacts and expert tour guides.  

Students will be guided through four galleries of artifacts and documents which focus on the history and exploration of Texas and the American West including the Age of Contact, colonization under Stephen F. Austin, the Texas Revolution, and early statehood. Depending on the age and size of the group, teachers may select from additional activities to round out their students’ Museum experience including an art or artifact exploration, special exhibit tour, ranger hunt, garden tour, and more.
