THE VACATIONER!
Texas University & Museum
Our third stop in Texas was Texas University. Here we visited the main square and tower. After that we walked to the Campus museum which is discounted if your a student, elder or military. Next to it is a free mini museum that you see in the photo with the colored window that building is free and really only needs less than 10 minutes inside.
The paid museum is much bigger and has a lot of contemporary art.
