With such a rich history, you may already expect that Texas has a fair amount of museums. There is always something new to learn, so here are three must-see museums in Irving.
Ruth Paine House Museum
The Ruth Paine House Museum has deep roots in history because it’s where Lee Harvey Oswald stayed the night before that fateful day on November 22, 1963, when he assassinated President John F. Kennedy. The original house has been restored over the years and is now a museum that residents and visitors to Irving can visit to see how it looked in the 1960s and learn about the events that occurred there.
ICR Discovery Center for Science & Earth History
Located just 10 miles north in Dallas is the ICR Discovery Center for Science & Earth History, which hosts planetarium shows and exhibits that show the relationship between the Bible and science. Kids can learn more about DNA, fossils, astronomy, and more through presentations and exhibits that help develop critical thinking skills and an appreciation for science.
The Mustangs of Las Colinas Museum and Sculpture
Take one visit to Williams Square in the Las Colinas Urban Center , and you’ll immediately see the bronze sculpture of nine wild mustangs in mid-gallop. Then visit the museum right next door, a dedication to African wildlife artist Robert Glen. You can view some of Glen’s art and learn more about his process for designing and creating his mustang masterpiece.
Irving is in a prime spot to take advantage of the museums and historic hot spots in Dallas and Fort Worth, too. Explore what our city has to offer.
