The two-floor, 24,000-square-foot-complex is the first new building erected on the Alamo's hallowed grounds in nearly 70 years, according to museum officials.

The Collections Center will serve as the temporary home of the artifacts until the $150 million Alamo Museum and Visitors Center is completed in 2026. Once that structure is operational, the Collections Center will house traveling exhibits, according to officials.
Tickets are on sale now for the grand opening of the Alamo Collections Center. They run $14 for adults and $10 for kids 12 years old or younger.
