A Visit
to The Institute
History is more than a date in a book. It takes people to
make dates important or memorable. At The Institute of
Texan Cultures you will be involved with many kinds of
people because here the history of the state is shown
through the oral and visual presentation of the many
national and cultural groups who settled and developed
Texas. Interpreters bring the stories of these pioneers to life
through special demonstrations, and the visitor, young or
old, is encouraged to participate . With this approach , the
exhibit provides a unique and exciting learning experience
for people of all ages.
ADMISSION: Free. Donations are invited .
HOURS: 9 a .m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays .
Closed Mondays, Christmas Day and Thanksgiving .
PARKING: We have two parking lots for private
vehicles . There is a $.75 parking fee ; $1 for evening events.
Free bus parking for school groups is available.
1
BUILDING USE: A small auditorium , several classrooms ,
a shaded patio and portions of the exhibit floors are
available for group meetings . Guided tours , craft
demonstrations , folk performances and films can be
scheduled to make conferences, conventions or study
sessions unfo.rgettable . For information on prices and
scheduling , contact the Office of Special Programs.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Artifacts, historical photographs
and text panels describing the lives of the settlers of Texas
provide-the theme for the exhibit. Many of the artifacts can
be handled, allowing visitors to feel the evidence of the
history they're discovering.
Educational films and a multi-screen presentation
showing the faces and places of Texas are presented for
school and tour groups . Please inquire about the schedule .
TOURS: Professional mtiseum interpreters or volunteer
docents describe the exhibits in vivid detail . Tours may be
planned for any age group . Generally, teachers devote
about an hour for a tour for preschool children . Older
students usually stay at The Institute two to four hours .
Adult groups frequently spend several hours or even an
entire day.
Individuals or small groups sometimes prefer an audio
cassette tour. The tape recorded tour is 45 minutes long but
can be stopped and restarted at any point to allow for indi­vidual
observation of exhibited materials. The cassette tape
may be rented for $1. 50.
DEMONSTRATIONS: Interpreters describe the com­monly
shared experiences of early settlers and bring history
to life for visitors, providing them an opportunity to learn
such things as how corn is ground for tortillas , techniques of
spinning and weaving and the ways of carding cotton and
wool . Other performances include traditional Texas folk
music, tales of wild west days, a visit at the tepee with the
Indian interpreter and an explanation of Jewish traditions.
New demonstrations are added constantly, and interpreters
often change their presentations .
OUTDOOR INTERPRETIVE AREA: On fair days in the
spring, summer and fall, The Institute offers outdoor
learning programs in the "Back 40." There, a brush arbor ,
a one-room schoolhouse and a dog-run log cabin offer an
extended classroom for interpreters and docents to teach
pioneer crafts , occupations and games.
BEFORE YOU COME: View the slide show or filmstrip A
VISIT TO mE INSTITUTE OF TEXAN CULTURES. This
overall picture of The Institute and its programs provides an
excellent orientation . Kindergarten through seventh grade
teachers find the TEACHER 'S GUIDE TO THE
INSTITUTE OF TEXAN CULTURES an extremely useful
teaching tool. In it are projects and activities for pre-visit,
visit and post-visit studies . Teachers living within the San
Antonio area, or others able to come to The Institute, are
encouraged to visit with our Educational Services Depart­ment
before bringing the class. The staff will help in
preparing for a specific tour .
BUSY MONTHS: Although we can accommodate several
hundred students, the galleries are very crowded during the
I
l I
I
spring. For this reason, fall and winter visits prove to be
more satisfactory and often provide students a better
opportunity to enjoy The Institute's educational experience.
LUNCH: There is a public snack bar on the lower floor.
The patio areas make ideal picnic sites , and there are several
downtown restaurants within a few blocks.
TO MAKE RESERVATIONS: For group tour reservations
please call or write the Educational Services Department at
least a month in advance of your visit . Please give the date
of the proposed visit, the estimated time of arrival and
departure , grade level (if applicable) and the number in the
group. School tours and demonstrations may be booked
during: Period I 9:00 .until 10:30; Period II 10:45 until
12:15; Period III 1:00 until2:30. Tuesday and Thursday are
usually devoted to grades K-4 and Wednesdays and Fridays
to grades 5-12. Late arrivals should expect their study period
to be reduced accordingly. Free study time for students
under teacher supervision may be arranged with the
permission of the staff.

IS MONEY A PROBLEM? If a limited budget is stopping
you from planning a visit or class field trip, it shouldn't.
Many schools , libraries and organizations have turned to
outside sponsors or fund raisers for aid.
When finding a sponsor, there are a few things to
remember. Match your sponsor with your project. As an
example, a local Parent/Teacher Association may fund a
field trip . When possible, make personal contacts with
potential sponsors and take them descriptive materials . The
Institute will furnish brochures on request. Let your
sponsors know all the goals and objectives of your group so
that they can understand and share them . Potential
sponsors may be found in the following:
Local businesses, unions, civic associations, chambers of
commerce, service clubs ;
Art and humanity councils, county, local and other
historical societies;
Parent/Teacher Associations and mothers' clubs.
Fund raising events such as bake sales and auctions have
proved successful toward raising field trip expenses.
