We visited the George Washington Museum during the Austin Art Studio Tour 2023. This was a group show for the artists who are on the tour. Congratulations to all of those artists who sold their pieces. The prices were affordable and I wish we had attended this show the week prior. Some pieces were quite amazing, some were rather rudimentary...

Lovely museum, great exhibits especially Texas family history and contributions to Austin. And it's free, but made a donation.

Great exhibits detailing lots of history of the Black journey from slave to Juneteenth. Saw dance classes taking place on the theater and space being used for HCBU informational tables. Adjacent to the library.

I’ve learned so much African-American history in one visit! I love the layout of the museum and it’s inspired me to be even more relentless in my own artistic endeavors. There is such a beautiful tribute to the African American families that have paved the way in the city of Austin. Truly worth visiting!!!
