Your A List: Best Museum
I’ve spent so much time in all these museums. There’s a notion out there that museums don’t matter. I don’t think so.
Numero Uno in the A List readers poll for Best Museum is the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, which not only serves Austin, but the greatest state out there.
It took 48 percent of the vote.
Way behind was the University of Texas’ long-awaited Blanton Museum of Art, taking only 13 percent.
LBJ Library and Museum, a national attraction, managed 9 percent.
Austin Museum of Art, always a promise, landed 8 percent.
Austin Children’s Museum, headed to the Mueller development, had just under 8 percent.
Mexic-Arte Museum and the Ransom Center tied at just over 5 percent.
Trailing were the Texas Memorial Museum and O. Henry Museum.
