Not worth $7. Beautiful building, and the Imax is nice, but do not expect to find Texas history the way you learned it in school, or expect to learn anything new. There is definately a REVISED history told here with a slant.

The story of the Lone Star State told through original artifacts and modern technology.. In Short
The museum, a postmodern homage to the neo-classic, Victorian style of the Capitol, is encased in sunset-red granite. A Texas-size star at the main entrance is one of few distinctive attributes of the museum exterior and serves as an unmistakable symbol of Texas pride. The exhibits explain the history and tradition of the Lone Star State in themes: land, identity and opportunity. The three floors holding each theme incorporate state-of-the-art interactive experiences and media presentations with original artifacts.

It's Great!. Austin needed this museum. Austin needed an IMAX. Great place to take out of town guests. The permanent exhibits can get to be a bit much for kids after a few visits. A lot of reading to really appreciate the exhibits. Overall, it's a great place. It's beautiful! informative, educational, fun, etc,etc.

Great. Everything is beautifully presented. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the movies are great... I don't recommend coming to see an IMAX movie in the morning on a weekday, though.. there are usually lots of school groups visitiing.
