The Bryan Museum is a lovely old building that has a lot of history during the 1900 Storm when it was an orphanage. And the tragedy that came from it these days the museum has a history of Texas, you only Have to plan about a two hour visit
Very interesting museum. Beautiful building. Lots of Texas history. The movie about the Galveston hurricane was worth the extra fee.
I was very impressed! There was so much to see and learn. Great artifacts, artwork, books, and more. It’s definitely a must see in Galveston
A lot of Texas history and includes the history of the building when it was used as an orphanage.
Beautiful place but be sure to put the sticker on your shirt ir security will call if they don’t see it
Wonderful museum with a variable display of artifacts in history. We particularly enjoyed the artwork displays and also the basement where they talked about the history of the Bryan museum when it was an orphanage. The staff there was very friendly and informative. The grounds were impeccable while we were not able to see the observatory because it was being used for a private event it looked beautiful. While we did not have small children with us. there is a special room just for children that looked really inviting.
If you are interested in Texas history and culture this is a must see. The museum is in a beautifully restored orphanage that is more like a mansion. Extremely impressed with collection of Texas artifacts, maps, weapons and art. Excellent history of Galveston, the 1900 hurricane and the orphanage. Highly recommend.
The video about the hurricane of 1900 is worth the extra $5. Exhibits allow visitors to get close to the documents, art and historical items and the staff is extremely helpful. Guided tours are available. Convenient parking.
Great experience my family loved it. All the history was awesome. I will tell everyone about museum thank u for great service
The Bryan Museum was a welcome stop. We found it looking for things to do in Galveston and enjoyed it immensely. Small but packed with memorabilia about the West with an emphasis on Texas. One man’s collection of interesting and important things he has been acquiring since he was ten.
