Nestled in the scenic Texas Hill Country, BNHAM provides versatile indoor and outdoor spaces tailored to fit a variety of occasions. Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by stunning exhibits in the New Spain Art Hall or

hosting a retirement party beneath the stars on the spacious museum grounds. For smaller gatherings, Café Twiga or the Art Hall Meeting Room offers cozy, creative settings ideal for corporate meetings or family get-togethers.

Rental packages start at just $50/hour, with flexible options for weekday bookings that include a 25% discount. While the base rental includes use of the space for up to three hours and free parking for up to 60 vehicles, a range of affordable add-ons—like guided museum tours, AV equipment, and seating rentals—allow you to fully customize your event.

With free parking, scenic backdrops, and access to captivating exhibits like the Outdoor Dino Walk and Trail of Habitats, your event won’t just be memorable—it’ll be meaningful. And if you want the entire museum to yourself? Yes, that’s an option too.

Whether you’re planning a formal gala or a casual reunion, BNHAM combines inspiration and convenience to help bring your vision to life.

Dates fill up quickly, and reservations are only confirmed with a 15% deposit and verbal confirmation. Don’t wait—host your next event where history, nature, and celebration meet.
