Docent-Led Tours
A docent-led tour is the ultimate way to experience The Bryan and learn about the epic story of Texas and American West. You and your group will be guided by an experienced docent, taking you through the first-floor story of Texas galleries, second-floor art galleries, and Galveston Orphans Home Exhibit.  Includes self-guided access for the remainder of your visit.

Self-Guided Group Visits
Tour for as long as you like, at your own pace, with a self-guided visit. 

Tours typically are an hour and a half in length, and we recommend that group tours plan on spending two hours at the Museum to visit Special Exhibits, the Museum Shop and explore the Grounds.
