The Witte Museum, established in 1926 under the charter of the San Antonio Museum Association, is located adjacent to Brackenridge Park in Midtown Brackenridge, San Antonio, Texas, USA, on the banks of the San Antonio River. It is dedicated to natural history, science and South Texas heritage. The permanent collection features historic artifacts and photographs, Texas art, textiles, the world-renowned Hertzberg Circus Collection, dinosaur bones, cave drawings, Texas wildlife dioramas and the four-story H-E-B Science Treehouse; in addition to nationally acclaimed traveling exhibits. The most recent addition is the 20,000 square foot Robert J. and Helen C. Kleberg South Texas Heritage Center—a permanent home for the Witte’s South Texas collections, exhibitions and public programs, combined with the latest museum technology, to trace the legendary history of South Texas. The Witte’s South Texas collections are cherished links to our interwoven heritage and include saddles, spurs, basketry, branding irons, historical clothing, land grants, art and firearms. The Witte Museum is named after San Antonio businessman Alfred G. Witte who bequeathed $65,000 to the city for construction of a museum of art, science, and natural history.〔http://www.wittemuseum.org/about_the_witte/history_of_the_witte.html〕 The first Director of the Witte Museum was Ellen Schulz Quillin. ==Gallery== Image:San Antonio River at Witte Museum IMG_3155.JPG| Image:WitteMuseumBackGate by silas216.jpg| Image:Celso-Navarro House, Witte Museum, San Antonio, TX IMG_3160.JPG|The Twohig House, built 1841 by merchant and banker John Twohig, was relocated to the Witte.
