editor 1015 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 There's lots of little museums around Texas worth visiting. Some near, some far. List some of your favorites. Mine are:Forbidden City in Katy - Some Chinese businessman has recreated the wonders of Beijing in miniature in order to foster cultural understanding around the world.Museum of Asian Cultures in Corpus Christi - Very small, but worth popping in if you're in the area.Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville - You won't believe the things the inmates can make behind bars with a little time and garbage.Border Patrol Museum, El Paso - I earned a new respect for the work of Border Patrol agents and their quarry when I visited this one. Don't know if it's since been chanced to the I.C.E. museum or not.Crawford County Museum? - Not sure about this one. It was outside of San Antonio. An old haunted jail turned into a small museum. I'll have to look it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheNiche 939 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) I hate to be a thread-killer, but: Texas Association of MuseumsThey're listed alphabetically by city. I linked straight to the section with both Houston and Galveston. Enjoy. Edited April 28, 2007 by TheNiche Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woolie 139 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 the original terminal at Hobby Airport is now a museum. It's in the process of being restored. You can even go up to the conning tower, out on the roof, the tarmac, etc. It's alot of fun to sit and watch the jets take off and land. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It even has a great website with a lot of great photos. http://1940airterminal.org/ Edited July 1, 2007 by FilioScotia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kristiw 2 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I love the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum. It's out in the middle of nowhere, making it a nice rest stop during a beautiful Hill Country ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retama 3 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Baytown has a nice museum located in the old downtown Goose Creek section. It leans toward the (Humble/Exxon) refinery but has some excellent exhibits that would be of interest to anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
