Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
Austin, Texas
Kroll Security Group provided security planning, design and installation management services for this high profile, interactive museum.
The driving force behind the creation of the Texas State History Museum was former Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock. The Museum is a division of the State Preservation Board.
A 35-foot-tall bronze Lone Star sculpture greets visitors in front of the Museum, and a colorful terrazzo floor in the Museum’s rotunda features a campfire scene with enduring themes from Texas’ past.
The exhibits at the Museum tell "The Story of Texas" using more than 700 artifacts, 17 media and interactive experiences and three floors of diverse exhibit space covering 34,000 square feet.
The Museums three-story central exhibit atrium features a circa 1940 AT-6 "Texan" airplane, a full-scale windmill, the Capitol's original Goddess of Liberty, and a vintage "Texas" theater sign. Featuring the best objects from around the state, the Museum highlights enduring themes in Texas history on each floor.
