The Museum also features Austin s first IMAX theater. A separate theater, the Texas Spirit Theater, is the only multimedia special effects theater of its kind in Texas. Seats will shake while lights, sounds and other effects take visitors on an epic journey through the history of Texas. Beginning in July of 2001, the museum will also be available for private events. The 12,000 square foot Grand Lobby provides a dramatic setting for formal events, and classrooms and a large meeting room make it ideal for a weekend workshop or retreat.
Special packages can include entrance to museum exhibits and theatres.
The three-day conference will feature seminars, workshops and round table discussions on a variety of important preservation issues with many of the state s most knowledgeable experts in architecture, archeology, downtown revitalization, heritage tourism and providing community assistance. The pre-registration deadline is April 6, however attendees may still register at the event. We are in need of several laptops and particularly a projector for use during special events, conferences, and presentations. Please contact the TTIA office if you are interested in helping us.
