Texas Music Museum - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Paige Giering: if you’re a music fan in any capacity i think this is a great stop when visiting Austin. Spans a lot of history and genres and the volunteers are very knowledgeable and passionate! I was very impressed and happy we stopped by.

5 /5 Mapiya duran: this was such an unexpected treat! we got a personal tour through the whole thing and all the volunteers are soo knowledgeable. Highly recommend checking this out

4 /5 Gary F: My wife said that the displays reminded her of her grade school scrap book projects. While the museum is long on displays and short on artifacts, it’s hard to criticize a museum that free and run by volunteers. I would take headphones to listen to the YouTube videos that are easily accessed through QR codes.

4 /5 Lenny B: A visit to the Texas Music Museum is a worthwhile stop for music fans visiting Austin. It offers thoughtful coverage across genres and is enlightening with its bios of lessor known Texan musicians of influence. The staff volunteer was welcoming and articulate, sharing stories and inviting conversation about a current exhibit featuring blues music history in Austin’s East Side. Parking was convenient, free, although not apparent until after I entered the museum for advice. The audio-visual resources are in need of an upgrade and that’s where visitors’ presence and donations can help pay it forward for the next guy.

5 /5 Jim McDaniel: I called to see if they were open for visitors because the website did not mention anything about visiting hours. They said that was the most common complaint and that should be rectified when the revised website comes online next month. I was very impressed with the facts and artifacts on display in such a small space. When I mentioned that they didnt have some more contemporary artist info, I was told that because of the small size of the facility, they can only display about 10% of what theyve got. Since its affiliated with the Center for Texas Music History at Texas State, theyve got plenty of source material to keep people interested in the rich history Texas music satisfied for years to come. They just need more funding to reach their full potential. More visitors would help. They cover a wide variety of genres.
