Sam Rayburn Museum reopens post renovation
The Sam Rayburn Museum, which is a division of the Briscoe Center for American History at The University of Texas at Austin, has reopened after an extensive renovation.
This is the first renovation of the museum since it opened more than 50 years ago. The museum has been reimagined for the 21st-century visitor. The renovations were aimed at deepening the connection and enhance the educational power of local history.
New interactive exhibit will be showcased at Rayburn Museum. A new resource like, the archives explorer, which enables visitors to interact with Rayburn's papers through a digital touchscreen interface has been featured. Archivists have combed through the Rayburn Papers and other political collections held at the Briscoe Center to digitise the most significant items that illustrate the life and legacy of "Mr. Sam."
