Alamo Ralston Family Collections Center
San Antonio, Texas
The Ralston Family Collections Center allows the Alamo to share more artifacts and historic artifacts with the public than ever before. Featuring 10,000 square feet of exhibition space — five times more than the Alamo previously had — the building offers more gallery space for interactive exhibits and learning opportunities, while highlighting the Phil Collins Collection. The building also houses a state-of-the-art curatorial environment with storage and conservation space for the hundreds of historic items that are part of the Alamo collection. Flexibly designed to allow for growth of future collections and acquisitions, as well as traveling and on-loan exhibitions, the spaces include research and education, conservation labs, workshops, and shipping and receiving.
