Postpone your commute and join us after work every Third Thursday for special extended Museum hours from 5 to 7 p.m.! Explore the exhibitions and connect to Texas through unique interactive experiences, with different activities offered each month.
Thursday, October 20th will feature a unique night of Mexican culture, tradition, and music inside our newest special exhibition, Hilos de Tradición: Dresses of Mexico. Be transported to Mexico and discover traditional Mexican ensembles amid the sultry sounds of acclaimed singer-songwriter Azul Barrientos.
Azul Barrientos is a musician dedicated to observing and conserving the cultural influences and interconnections between Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Mexico. Born in Mexico City, Azul moved to San Antonio, Texas as a young woman, where she developed a reputation for building bridges between Mexicana and Chicana cultures. Her career has focused on preserving traditional songs from Latin America and exploring their diverse musical histories. Azul rejoices in her Mexican roots, giving new life to the rhythms and stories of previous generations.
Public programs at the Bullock Museum explore relevant history and celebrate the culture that has shaped our modern world. Through engaging discussions, live performances, and experiential activities guests are invited to see local connections and discover how Texas fits into a broader national story.
