Learn the history of the American West guided through the halls of the Briscoe Museum by your own in-app audio tour.
The Museum has been nestled in the building of the San Antonio Public Library on the banks of the San Antonio River Walk since the 1980s. It is named after Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe, Jr. who started a museum sharing Western heritage and the people behind it.

You will see beautiful landscapes and learn the stories of the cowboys and the vaqueros. Marvel at such artifacts as the Pancho Villa's last known saddle, a restored chuck wagon, and Santa Anna's ceremonial sword. Interactive diorama will bring you to the story of the Alamo Battle.
Finally, walk through the McNutt Sculpture Garden to marvel at statues crafted by some of the world’s leading Western artists.
