About Us
The Austin Museum Partnership is a consortium of Austin-area museums
organized in 1998 to promote collaborations for the mutual benefit
of the public and the museums.
The membership includes art and science museums; historic sites
and history museums; nature preserves, natural habitats, and botanical
gardens; the University of Texas library, science, and art repositories; a
Presidential library; a children's museum; a museum about Texas
music; and the spectacular Texas State Capitol. And best of all,
it's all right here in Austin, Texas!
Among other projects, the Austin Museum Partnership launched Austin Museum Day in 1998 that was attended by over 10,000 people. Now with attendance nearing 30,000, the tenth annual Austin Museum Day will be held on Sunday, September 23, 2007 - click

Formed in January 1998, the Austin Museum Partnership, a consortium
of area museums and historic sites, is organizing the celebration.
The purpose of the organization is to promote and facilitate collaborations
within the museum community for the mutual benefit of the public
and the museums. AMP is a regional member of the Texas Association
of Museums (TAM). The 2007 AMP Co-Chairs are Christina Hiett of
the Austin Museum of Art and Jennifer Garner of
the Blanton Museum of Art; and Treasurer is Stephen Brueggerhoff of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
The Austin Museum Partnership extends to the Austin community and
its visitors a warm welcome to visit Austin's museums and explore
the unique buildings, rich collections and programs and the host
of diverse activities to be discovered!
