Located in the Sid
Richardson Science Building, the museum houses biological exhibits. Several displays, including a reconstructed 1835 log cabin, chronicle the history of central Texas. A 100,000-sq-ft museum building is planned to house the collections of rocks and minerals, regional flora and fauna, and live reptiles. Exhibitions of environments are also planned to integrate the museum's extensive natural history collection. The museum is open Monday-Saturday, closed Sunday and major holidays. Admission to the museum is free to the public.
