GUIDED TOURS
Guided tours of the massive main floor exhibition
are conducted for visitors from pre-school through
all adult ages. Admission is free.
The 50,OOO-square-foot exhibition verifies Texans
are a multicultural people. It uses multimedia
technology to tell its amazing story, combining
pictorial and three dimensional impact with light,
sound, color, texture, and movement involving all
the senses; it creates excitement and captures the
mind.
The result is a new feeling of kinship among all
Texans - and with all peoples of the world.
The word "culture" as used in the Institute's
name comes from an anthropologist's definition of
culture: " that complex whole which includes know­ledge,
beliefs, art, morals, law, custom, and other
capabilities and habits acquired by man as a
member of soc.:iety."
The 26 Texan cultures exhibited in the main floor
exhibition include Indian, Anglo American, English,
Scottish, Irish, Norwegian, Swedish, American
Negro, Gennan, Swiss, Jewish, Wendish, Czech,
Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Lebanese and
Syrian, French, Mexican, Yugoslav, Spanish, Bel­gian,
Polish, Danish, and Dutch.
The happily majestic dome show, a unique
Institute feature, centers the exposition as a climax
to a successful floor tour.
The main floor is open daily except Monday, and
except holidays observed by The UniverSity of
Texas at San Antonio.

Pre-school, elementary, and secondary school teachers- as well as university faculty­-
have long used the main floor exhibition as a learning experience for their students.
Upon entering, most students are seated in the carpeted entrance area to hear an
introductory presentation that tells them, in general, what the exhibition offers. Then they
divide into groups to be led by members of the ITC guide staff. The guides are trained to
keep the attention of visitors of all ages. This skill, plus the excitement, color and Virtually
tmending variety of exhibits, absorbs the interest of students during the tour; as a result,
discipline problems among young students are rare.
Teachers follow such procedures as these below to make good use of their students' time:
(1) Bring classes to the Institute early in the term, to introduce both the multicultural
concept, and Texas studies.
(2) Develop worksheets on Institute subject matter, which makes the Institute an open
classroom for self-teaching.
(3) Bring classes late in the term, as a capstone to historical or cultural studies.
Pre-school children usually stay on the floor about one hour; older students stay from two
to four hours. Weather permitting, several hundred students may enjoy their picnic-type
lunch on the Institute's back patio. The Institute has no food service for visitors, except a
cold drink machine.
Faculty sponsors are advised to make reservations in advance for school tours. Several
hundreds of students can be accommodated in one day. Admission is free.
Write to Guide Supervisor, Institute of Texan Cultures, Box 1226, San Antonio, Texas,
78294, giving proposed date of visit, estimated time of arrival at the Institute, grade levels
of students, and approximate number of students.

TEXAS AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION is the Institute's
first production to celebrate the American Revolution Bicenten­nial.
Colorful, innovative design and graphics alone will make it
an important display. But more significant is the text spotlighting
a valid perspective on the development of the western hemis­phere.
The story reveals that Texas-a minor, sub-province
New Spain-had a long-standing stake in revolution well before it
joined the Union. Texas was part of the seething revolution of the
Americas-that brave stand for the rights of man so successfully
played out at Lexington, Valley Forge, and Yorktown; and so
firmly set in the Western mind by the French Revolution. The
show consists of 8 tall columns of words and pictures. Visitors will
circle column One before walking over to column Two, etc. Show

response to an inquiry by the Houston Chamber of
Commerce, who provided the skill that shot yields
