Summary

San Antonio’s Witte Museum turns 100, celebrating a century of culture, education, and wild history—from dinosaur replicas and ancient armor to the infamous theft of the McFarlin Diamond. Founded by teacher and botanist Ellen Schulz Quillin with a gift from Alfred Witte, the museum has evolved into a dynamic hub featuring everything from vintage Fiesta gowns to preserved organs and endangered species stories. After a major 2017 renovation, it’s launching new exhibits like Texas food traditions and reviving beloved events like “Cocktails and Culture,” all while inviting visitors to rediscover why this iconic institution still matters today.
