THIS IS THE INSTITUTE
OF TEXAN CULTURES
The Institute of Texan Cultures of The University
of Texas at San Antonio was established in 1967
with a unique concept. Its purpose was, and is, to
gather information on the diverse cultural heritage
and tradition of the state and to organize, interpret
and communicate this data to the people of Texas.
As a statewide educational communications
service center, The Institute tells the dramatic
story of the men and women who settled Texas. It
brings past into present and points toward
the future.
The story is told through articles, pamphlets,
books, multimedia displays, traveling exhibits,
slide shows and films. These materials are
developed from widely scattered sources -
documents, photographs, works of art, relics and
artifacts. These references have been gathered
from private collections, museums and
special repositories.
The Institute of Texan Cultures is a spectacular
showplace in the heart of downtown San Antonio.
It is located on Hemisfair Plaza on 13 acres of
landscaped grounds in a geometrically shaped
building constructed of granite, limestone
and concrete.
Use of its specialized research files and library
holdings is extensive. Admission to its exhibit
floors is free and visits from the general public and
school classes are welcome.
The ground floor of The Institute houses the
Continuing Education Division of The University of
Texas at San Antonio. Classes, seminars and
workshops are held regularly on a variety
of subjects.

person? Try The Institute of Texan Cultures Store.
There you can find pottery and jewelry fashioned

of El Paso; or perhaps the intricate designs of a
hand painted Easter egg done by Texans of
Ukranian ancestry might suit your fancy; or
ingenius toys of unpainted wood for that very
special youngster; or perhaps it's a book of Texana
you can't seem to find elsewhere. Try the lTC store
for these and other gift ideas.

EXHIBITS AT
THE INSTITUTE
The displays on The Institute's 50,000 square-foot
main floor vividly show Texans as a multicultural
people of more than 26 national and ethnic origins.
Using multimedia technology, the displays tell an
amazing story. It is dramatized by combining
pictorial and three-dimensional impact with light,
sound, color, texture and movement involving all
the senses. Since most of the artifacts are on
limited loan to The Institute, the cases and free­standing
displays are continually changed on a
rotating schedule.
The ethnic groups which are currently exhibited
on the main floor are:
Afro-American
Anglo-American
Belgian
Chinese
Czech
Danish
Dutch
English
French
German
Indian
Italian
Irish
Japanese
Jewish
Lebanese
Mexican
Norwegian
Polish
Scottish
Spanish
Swedish
Swiss
Syrian
Wendish
The Lower Gallery contains special exhibits on
loan to or fabricated by The Institute. Past
exhibits include:
Mondel Rogers: Old Ranches of the Texas Plains
Carl Hertzog: Printer at the Pass
Texas and the American Revolution

Exhibits for the remainder of 1977 will include;

when the exhibit floors are closed.

Closed Mondays.
BUILDING USE GUIDELINES
The facilities of The Institute are available for
educational purposes to public and private
educational institutions and groups engaged in
public service. For institutions other than those
within The University of Texas System, The
University of Texas at San Antonio must act as a
joint sponsor of the activity or event.
Building use fees vary according to the size and
nature of the event and may be obtained by
contacting the Director of Special Programs.
TOURS AND
TOUR GUIDES
Guided tours of the vast main floor are conducted
for visitors of all ages. The tours are free.
Pre-school. elementary and secondary school
teachers, as well as university faculty are welcome
to use The Institute's exhibits as a learning
experience for their students. Teachers who bring
classes to The Institute early m the term will find
the visit an interesting way to introduce the
multicultural concept in Texas studies. Other
teachers, by scheduling The Institute visit late in
the term, use it as a capstone to historical or
cultural studies. Many teachers find that a related
worksheet prepared for their class can help The
Institute become an open classroom for
self-teaching.
Living museum demonstrations, including the
Indian, Norwegian, Mexican/Spanish, and other
areas complement the 26 ethnic display and
historical areas of The Institute. A Southern Folk
Music class and participation unit is included for
pre-school and elementary grades. Regular
demonstrations daily (subject to change). Please
call or write for current schedule.
A frontier village outdoor museum area will
become operational during 1977. Crafts, native
plants, and frontier oecupations will be taught
under a brush arbor by guides and docents,
assisted by demonstration craftsmen. A pioneer
double log cabin and late 19th century school
house as well as native plants, medicine, and fiber
garden constitute the pilot teaching area. A hill
country barn will be built during the 1977 Texas
Folklife Festival. Other buildings will be added
as needed.
Pre-school children usually stay on the floor
about one hour; older students stay from two to
four hours. Students may bring a picnic lunch to
enjoy on The Institute's back patio, weather
permitting. There is a cold drink machine
available nearby.
Faculty sponsors are advised to make
reservations well in advance for school tours.
Several hundred students can be accommodated in
one day, but spring dates are always crowded and
teachers are urged to schedule their class visits
during the fall and winter months whenever
possible. To schedule a tour visit write the Director
of Educational Services, The Institute of Texan
Cultures, P.O. Box 1226, San Antonio, Texas 78294.

estimated time of arrival at and departure from
The Institute, grade level and approximate number
