We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The collection exhibited was a wonderful diversity of high quality pieces. Austin should be proud to have this gem at it's center. Parking is just around the corner and you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Capitol, just to the south as you walk to the front doors. Add it to your plans, we think you'll enjoy your stay.

This is a must see while you’re in the Austin area. This museum is small but also free. They do except small donations. There’s a Frieda Khalid painting, the first ever photograph, and a Gutenberg Bible. An incredible amount of history in such a small space. The staff here were helpful and friendly. There are not large bags allowed. You do have free use of locked lockers. There is a small exhibit on at this time, which I assume rotates. There is no free parking for this building.

Absolutely fantastic repository. I was so impressed with the two photography exhibits up right now. The curators did such a great job. I don’t think I will forget them any time soon. The selections from the Arthur Miller papers were also very cool and I have to give props to the processing archivists for getting a collection of that size ready for researchers in two years. The staff here were also very friendly and helpful, which is sadly quite rare with rare book and manuscript repositories. It is definitely worth a trip to the HRC if you’re in Austin.

This place is always fun to visit. They have really well put together exhibits, but it's not overwhelmingly large. Plus it's free, so you really have nothing to lose.
