The Alamo is pleased to announce that the Alamo Collections Center will open to the public on March 3, 2023, at noon, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. that same day. Get ready for an exciting announcement during the ceremony! The Alamo will be unveiling the name of the building, all thanks to the incredible generosity of a donor to the Remember the Alamo Foundation.
The Alamo Collections Center, located behind the Alamo Church, boasts 10,000 square feet of exhibition space, expanding the current galleries fivefold and offering state-of-the-art storage and conservation space for the Alamo Collection. It is the newest construction on the Alamo grounds since the 1950s and will showcase items from the Phil Collins Collection, the Donald and Louise Yena Spanish Colonial Collection, and the Alamo Collection until they can be displayed in the new Visitor Center and Museum, set to open in 2026.

For the first time, visitors will have the opportunity to see priceless artifacts from the Alamo Collection. It's an exciting moment for the historic site and its 1.6 million annual visitors."
