Special treasures can be found from Mexican Texas, the Texas revolution, and the Republic of Texas. The museum also holds art and artifacts from the Spanish conquest, French Texas (a small collection), Spanish colonial life, the Mexican Revolution and the Anglo colonization of Mexican Texas. Texas's early statehood and the Civil War are also featured. Continued on Schedule O Admission to the Museum allows guest access to the Theatre: "Texas Forever!! The Battle of San Jacinto," with a repeat showing every hour on the hour, which tells the story of Texas history.
