Located in the heart of downtown Austin and steeped in Texas grandeur and tradition, the Bullock Texas State History Museum is the perfect site for all types of events. With several versatile spaces, the museum can be transformed to create memorable experiences for fundraisers, galas, meetings, presentations, film premieres, and more.
The Grand Lobby, the museum’s largest space, hosts up to 600 attendees in an elegant, one-of-a-kind setting. As attendees enter through the rotunda, they are greeted by a striking spiral staircase and a colorful terrazzo mosaic featuring characters from Texas’ past. The Bob Bullock Atrium is perfect for more intimate events, with space for up to 250. Events also might extend outside to the Lone Star Plaza in front of the museum, featuring a 35-foot bronze star sculpture and views of the new Texas Capitol Mall green space that connects The University of Texas at Austin with the Texas Capitol. As Texas’ official state history museum, the Bullock Texas State History Museum hosts events that could include the museum’s three floors of galleries, spanning 16,000 years of Texas history, from the first inhabitants to the Space Race and beyond.
The museum also boasts two theaters. The 329-seat Bullock Museum IMAX Theatre has a six-story screen with cutting-edge dual-laser projection and 12-channel sound—a thrilling space for a film premiere, private screening, or corporate product launch. The Texas Spirit Theater features three screens and a generously sized stage, and is a stunning space for presentations, film screenings, and live music, with seating for 190 people.
The Bullock Texas State History Museum is conveniently located within walking distance of The University of Texas at Austin campus, the Texas Capitol, and many hotels. Plus, its underground garage makes parking in the heart of downtown easy.
