About the Witte Museum:
The Witte Museum inspires people to shape the future of Texas through relevant and transformative experiences in nature, science and culture. As San Antonio’s most-visited museum, the Witte reaches a diverse audience of hundreds of thousands from within Bexar County and beyond. 

The Witte Museum is located between the ancient San Antonio River and historic Broadway, a bountiful riverside campus with large and open galleries, where Nature, Science and Culture meet through the lens of what they call Texas Deep Time and the themes of Land, Sky and Water.

What does that mean? You will be immersed in the land, sky, and water inside and outside on the way to fully experiencing the place that is  now call Texas.

As the San Antonio River runs through the 10-acre campus, down from the headwaters nearby, you will witness millions, thousands and hundreds of years of history within the galleries and on the grounds. Petrified specimens from the Cretaceous era, artifacts from Archaic times and the 1719 Acequia Madre and Diversion Dam from the Spanish period are integrated into the wonders of the Witte.

The Witte Museum ensures that access to the museum, riverside habitat and the ever-growing collection are available to all. Through funding partnerships with multi-generational donors, the Witte hosts Free Tuesdays and is a proud supporter of the city’s Museums for All initiative.

Since the museum’s founding in 1926, the Witte welcomed visitors from throughout Texas and beyond, and became a trusted keeper of historic artifacts stories and artifacts and scientific specimens. Looking forward, we vow to always be a safe place for civic discourse so that challenges and differences can be discussed, engaged in and ultimately part of solutions for progress.

They hold ourselves accountable so that every person has an “Ah Ha” moment when exploring the Witte. The exhibitions, collections and programs of the Witte encourage the exploration of Texas, not only the land, water and sky, but also humanity and culture.

The Witte Museum is a primary-source content provider engaging K-12 students in innovative, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills aligned curriculum, and inquiry-based learning experiences. The knowledge and experience through on-campus or digital programming is unique, exceptional and not replicable. “How do we know what we know?” is the foundation upon which the galleries, digital platforms and programs are created.

The Witte has a Texas State and Federally certified curatorial collection repository and labs in archeology, history, geology and paleontology. The Witte’s B. Naylor Morton Research and Collections Center and Collections Repository includes offices for Witte Curatorial and Collections teams and housing for 320,000 artifacts and specimens.

The Witte Museum stands on a platform of excellence as an American Alliance of Museum Accredited Museum. The standards set by AAM are rigorous, with museum best practices as foundational. Only 7% of museums nationally have earned accreditation, an elite status the Witte has maintained since 1974, with the most recent re-accreditation awarded in 2018. The Witte is committed to sustaining accreditation through consistent and progressive collections stewardship.

If the winner of this item cannot attend the event, collection can be arranged at a later date.
