The Elisabet Ney Museum is the historic home and studio of Elisabet Ney, a wildly iconoclastic German sculptor who moved to Austin in 1882. The museum enthusiastically celebrates her art, history, and legacy through exhibitions and events for the whole family. Her commissions include notable European luminaries and those who shaped early Texas history, including well-known Texans Stephen Austin and Sam Houston, whose portraits both stand in the national and state capitals today.
Step back to the past and discover dinosaurs in a way that you've never discovered them before at The Dinosaur Park, where they offer a unique setting featuring realistic life-size dinosaur exhibits that show skin and color variations to give a better understanding of how they looked when they were alive.

The Dinosaur Park is an educational and life-like destination, where everyone can learn about the majestic animals that ruled the earth for over 150 million years.
