Abilene ( /ˈæbəliːn/ ab-ə-leen) is a city in Taylor and Jones counties in west central Texas. It is the principal city of the Abilene Metropolitan Statistical Area, and the county seat of Taylor County.[1] The metropolitan area also includes Callahan County.
The list of museums in Texas encompasses museums defined for this context as institutions (including nonprofit organizations, government entities, and private businesses) that collect and care for objects of cultural, artistic, scientific, or historical interest and make their collections or related exhibits available for public viewing. Museums that exist only in cyberspace (i.e., virtual museums) are not included. Also included are non-profit art galleries and exhibit spaces.
Lists of Texas institutions which are not museums are noted in the "See also" section, below.
