The Ransom Center has the most unique & rare exhibits in all of Austin. They've got a copy of the Gutenberg Bible, only 5 complete copies exist in the U.S. They also have the world's first photograph. Other items of note include drawings or sketches by Cezanne, Picasso, and other famous artists. My favorite was a self-portrait of Picasso on the inside of a book cover, it was a simple face drawn in primary colors.
Barsana Dham is a Hindu Temple about 30 minutes outside of Austin. It's a beautiful, peaceful spot, and visitors are welcome, as long as you check their website for their specific visiting hours, and don't wear shoes or take photos inside the building.

Statue of MLK in a park-like area
A house? Who knows.
I love the style of roof-top you see on almost all of the buildings.
Ok... I think I'm going to file this post under "History." The school has gotta be somewhat old, right? And where else am I supposed to file it?
The Mexic-Arte museum has artwork, jewelry, furniture, and a bunch of historic artifacts like pots and small sculptures. They also play old Mexican films in the back of the museum. It's kinda cool, but we're glad we got to experience it for free.
