Arts & Culture
The Witte Museum opened its doors to great fanfare in September of 1925. Despite operating on a shoestring, the museum was able to acquire a number of artworks and artifacts displaying the rich cultural and natural history of San Antonio and the State of Texas.
By the time the 30s rolled around, the Witte was sponsoring archaeological research of its own, contributing to the community in its own right.
