We’ve introduced advance, date-specific, timed-entry tickets to help us maintain social distancing during the arrival process and to manage capacity in the museum. Timed tickets are required.
Please note, tickets are only good for the date and time listed on the online ticket you receive at purchase. Help us create a safe experience for everyone by arriving for your visit at the time on your ticket. If you are unable to attend, call our front desk at least two hours before your visit at 512.471.5482 to release your tickets. What you need to know about buying tickets:
- Arrival time: Select a 20-minute window that you’d like to arrive within. Once you enter the museum, you can stay for as long as you want until it closes.
- Visit time: Your arrival time affects the duration of your visit. The museum closes to the public from 1-2pm for cleaning and at 5pm. If you buy a ticket with an arrival time slot of 12pm or 4pm, you will only have one hour to visit the museum. If you would like a longer visit, make sure to reserve a ticket for an earlier time slot.
- Please make sure you get tickets for your entire household at once. You will be asked to provide everyone’s names.
- UT ID holders, Blanton Members, teachers, and military personnel must still reserve a FREE ticket online and present their ID or member card at check-in. Alternatively, call our Visitor Services team to make the reservation over the phone or reserve for UT Staff/Faculty or member guests.
- We are open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 am to 1pm, and from 2-5pm. We close from 1-2pm for cleaning. On Sundays, we are open from 2-5pm. We are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
- Thursdays are free admission, funded generously provided by the Moody Family Free Day Endowment; timed tickets are required.
- Tickets are typically released on Fridays.
Museum schedule is subject to change because of fluctuations resulting from the pandemic.
