Texas Memorial Museum, Natural history museum at University of Texas, Austin, United States.

The Texas Memorial Museum exhibits a collection of over 5 million specimens focusing on paleontology, geology, biology, and natural sciences of Texas.

The museum opened its doors in 1939 after President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated construction in 1936 to commemorate the Texas Centennial.

The institution preserves North American ethnographic artifacts, Latin American textiles, and collections from the Andes and tropical rainforests.

The museum operates Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Sunday 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at 2400 Trinity Street in Austin.

The Wichita County meteorite displayed at the museum marks the location of a nine-day battle between Comanche and Lipan Apache people in 1723.
