Witte Museum
The Witte Museum was born from many minds seeking a singular goal: to create a public forum that promotes lifelong learning. From a $65,000 gift bequeathed to the city of San Antonio after Alfred Witte’s death in 1921, this museum of art, science, and natural history was built along the San Antonio River and named after the late Witte’s parents.
Today, the Witte Museum still pursues this wide range of knowledge with hands-on scientific and historical exhibits. The museum’s long-term features portray the natural wonders of southern Texas including ancient rock art from the lower Pecos, examples of local ecology, and dinosaur fossils found locally while trying to uncover lost time capsules. Outside the museum, the H-E-B Science Treehouse collects four floors of interactive exhibits that explain sound waves, simple machines, and other scientific concepts to malleable young minds.
