UT San Antonio’s Institute of Texan Cultures Re-Opens Museum to Join a Downtown Renaissance

Anyone who’s moved houses knows it is a hateful job. But imagine packing up and carting around 180,000 square feet of stuff. 

Last year, staff at UT San Antonio’s Institute of Texan Cultures moved 57 years’ worth of historical antiques, photographs, and costumes from Hemisfair’s Texas Pavilion to their new home at the Frost Tower, 111 W. Houston St. Head Curator Bianca Alvarez said it was a hands-on job.
