Introducing The Bullock Museum

You don’t need to be a history buff to fall in love with this property. The museum features ample natural light, downtown convenience, and a clean minimalist ambiance that works with many event designs. 

The Bullock Museum attracts couples who are looking for a grand reception space that is distinct from a hotel ballroom. The museum’s versatile indoor space allows couples the freedom to experiment with a variety of layouts. The rotunda is awash with natural light and the grand staircase accentuates the modern (yet traditional) atmosphere, making it a one of a kind venue, in the heart of Austin.
