Take a trip through Asia and learn about ancient customs while gazing at the artistry of Japanese kimonos, porcelains, and even a rickshaw. Admire the beauty of artifacts from India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Thailand, The Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, and Laos. The treasures, stories, and richness of each country’s people await you at the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures & Education Center. Beautiful Asian artifacts and a collection of intricately-carved pieces are sure to be among the high points of your visit. The Museum also offers many educational classes for students and the general public each year and is open to gatherings and special events with an Asian flair.

Experience what is perhaps the most curious, peculiar, yet extraordinarily fantastic festive moment ever imagined, Día de los Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead Street Festival, celebrating the lives we knew and miss and yet joyfully inviting all to pay respects to those who passed on and celebrate the life that makes and solidifies our cherished memories. You’ll find Día de Los Muertos themed artworks, Wall and Altars of Remembrance, craft items, jewelry, fun children’s activities, challenging games, and plenty of food as the festival takes over several blocks of Downtown. This rich Mexican tradition has multiple stages of live entertainment, traditional Mexican cultural performances, and local bands.
