This place is rich with history. Those who might enjoy this place: History Buffs, School-aged kids, WWII Vets, Gulf War Vets, etc. Also, who would enjoy this place are: People who are able to look at the Big Picture and see reality for what it is, Those who appreciate traditional family values, Those who know the value of serving others, those who value all Human Life, including the lives of our enemies overseas- This great man lived such values, as reflected by his quotes which are posted, throughout the museum.

A description of some of the items that are contained in the center
Reviewed By austex_gringo - Austin, United States
The Ransom Center always offers a great distraction on days when the weather is not cooperating my children's weekly adventures. There are only a handful of items on permanent display, including a wonderful Frida Kahlo, the first photograph ever taken, and the Gutenberg Bible. In addition there are busts from various artists of various famous writers menu which are exceptional. The real treat The Ransom Center, however, all the rotating displays. They change them out several times a year and there's almost always something of Interest to see. The collection itself is a gold mine of minutiae covering the last 150 years or so of the western experience.

Stopped for Sunday brunch and the food was excellent. We were recommended try the "World's best coconut pie" and it was truly an excellent piece of pie. We enjoyed chatting with the owner. Very friendly wait staff. They also have an adjacent shop with various unique items for sale. Would definitely stop again if we're in the area
