A Driving Tour of the University of Texas Area

From Emily Starbuck Gerson, former About.com Guide

On your right, you will pass by the University’s Blanton Museum of Fine Arts, a new building that exhibits thousands of masterpieces from the past and present. On the opposite side of the street, you’ll catch a glimpse of the Texas Capitol building. Soon after, you’ll see the massive Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, which tells the story of Texas through exhibits and films, and houses Austin’s only IMAX theater.
