Alamo Collection

San Antonio, TX

The two-story, 24,000 square feet Alamo Exhibition Hall & Collections Building was built on the grounds, to the east of the Gift Shop in the Alamo gardens. It includes a state-of-the-art curatorial environment for the hundreds of historic items in the Alamo’s possession, as well as an additional 10,000 square feet of exhibition space that increases the amount of available square footage dedicated to displaying an expansive collection of documents and objects relating to the world-famous Texas Revolution battle by 500 percent, most notably The Phil Collins Collections.

The facility, which opened on the Alamo grounds in 2023, has been prudently designed so its construction will not obstruct the breathtaking view of the Church from Alamo Plaza.
