The Witte Museum has hundreds of thousands of artifacts that you can explore their collection -- a collection filled with one of a kind items you won’t see anywhere else.
“All of the drawers are lined with glass on top. They’re very hard cases. They were actually made in Ottawa, Canada,” Marise McDermott, president and CEO of the Witte Museum said.“In our anthropology drawer, there is an 8,000 year old sandal,” McDermott said.
“Susan Naylor, who is an amazing donor. Her father collected a lot, and so she named this whole research center after her dad, B. Naylor,” McDermott said.“The Witte was founded in 1926 and we’ve been collecting ever since,” McDermott said. “The Witte is very serious about a rapid collecting methodology to make sure that we’re collecting historic times in our lives now, so that 100 years from now, people will have the actual evidence of what happened historically,” McDermott said.“You can actually see the Witte’s Texas Art Collection in what we call visible storage,” McDermott said.
