HBU's Morris Cultural Arts Center houses three important University collections, displayed in more than 14,000 square feet of exhibit space.

 With a collection of more than 500 volumes, including rare Bibles and related books, The Dunham Bible Museum has one of the largest such collections on public display in the United States. A guide and curriculum offer visitors insight into the Bible's role in American culture and history. It's a wonderful learning experience for young and old.

     

The period room settings of the Museum of American Architecture and Decorative Arts depict everyday life in early Texas. The museum provides a warm, intimate and friendly setting for the household furnishings and decorative arts which help the visitor appreciate the changes that occurred as Houston grew from a frontier settlement to a town.

       

Visitors to the Museum of Southern History will experience some five hundred years of this unique region’s colorful past.  In the late 1970s, museum benefactor Joella Morris cast about for some means to help preserve the history of Fort Bend County by working to save the old jail in Richmond, Texas. That accomplished, she set her sights upon preserving and displaying a collection of artifacts and memorabilia and established a museum in which to display these materials. The Museum continues to acquire and display objects relating primarily to nineteenth century subjects.
