UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures is San Antonio's cultural experience museum, dedicated to enhancing the understanding of cultural history and its influence upon the people of Texas. The museum develops exhibits, programs, and special events that encourage acceptance and appreciation of our differences as well as our common humanity. The museum strives to provide a forum for diversity and a showcase for the dynamics of cultural history. UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures is a campus of the University of Texas at San Antonio. The museum has called San Antonio home since it established residency in the downtown building that was constructed as the Texas State Exhibits Pavilion for the 1968 HemisFair celebration. Today, the Institute fulfills its mandate as the state's center for multicultural education by investigating the ethnic and cultural history of the state and presenting the resulting information in a variety of ways:
Funding for the Institute comes primarily from three sources: (1) biennial legislative appropriations; (2) Exhibit Floor and special event admissions; and (3) grants, contributions, and other locally generated funds such as the rental of the Institute's facilities, and the sale of its publications, audiovisuals, library services, and merchandise from The Store.
