Tex-Kits

Bring a piece of the museum into your location! The Tex-Kit program offers hands-on, interactive Texas-themed presentations in the following content areas:

Tex-Kits are designed as traveling collections of demonstration items that relate to the kit's particular theme. They present an educational experience that adds a tactile dimension to certain study areas of Texas culture and history.

Presented by either a trained volunteer or museum staff member, Tex-Kits provide opportunities to handle the tools and accoutrements of the people who forged the state of Texas.

A presentation lasts one hour (50 minutes when more than one presentation is requested on a consecutive schedule). Due to the interactive, hands-on nature of the program we recommend that audiences are limited to 35 attendees or fewer per presentation. We regret that we can only present Tex-Kits within a 50-mile radius of San Antonio.
