Austin Museum Day

As part of the annual citywide Austin Museum Day, the Wildflower Center will offer FREE admission on September 17! Entry with free admission will be open from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. but the majority of Austin Museum Day activities will happen from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Here are activities that will be available:

• 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. – Guided tours of Seeing the Invisible, an augmented reality contemporary art exhibition! This is your last chance to see it before this exhibition leaves our gardens!
• 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. – “Movement in the Garden” by artist Alexa Capareda in the Great Hall
• 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.  – Monarch Exhibition in the Little House

Featured Artist: Alexa Capareda
“Movement in the Gardens” is a months-long art video project documenting the landscape, life, and beauty of the Wildflower Center, framed in context with the movement of dancer Alexa Capareda, witnessing and reacting to the flourishing potential, verdant growth, and diverse spaces within the grounds. View it in the Great Hall at the Wildflower Center on Austin Museum Day.
