Hidden gem of a museum. The building used to be a children’s orphanage. It was restored after the flood. The building is magnificent. The collection is varied and extensive including 3 Warhols, the Stelzig’s store horse, and information about Texas through the years. We spent 2 hours. We will be back to see it again. Highly recommend.

This is a hidden gem of a museum. Most people go to Galveston for the beach. We found this place by using the Hilton App that has a link to a map that populates there entire area. We found it through that. This building was built in 1895 and was operated as an orphanage that withstood the terrible hurricane of 1900. It now has great historical objects. There’s a diorama of the Battle of San Jacinto. Outstanding. The sections are: a journey through the history of Texas, when the Spanish were here and the beautiful artifacts therein. One area plays the story of the terrible hurricane of 7 Sept 1900, devastating the city and losing 6,000 people.

I found the museum very interesting. It was worth the trip. I really enjoyed the history and the art. The museum was worth the price of admission.
