This museum is a wonderful way to introduce kids to natural history. It would be awful to have this asset close.

As a paleontologist, and scientist interested in public outreach and science literacy, this is a terrible short-sighted move. Please restore the funding.

Such a beautiful museum and wonderful part of campus, I've spent many happy hours there, both as a student and now as a mother with my little ones. Please don't destroy such a treasure!

Austin is home to some of the most important discoveries in the world and deserves a well funded museum to highlight this amazing natural history.

One if my fondest memories as a child was school and summer visits to the museum. Later after I had children, we spent many summers there. The Texas Memorial Museum is an Austin treasure.

My kids and I love the Texas Memorial Museum! Austin is a great city in every other way, but not great on the museum front. Let's not lose one of the best!

The museum is the heritage of the state! Surely it's worth a few oil dollars! By the way, how do you think they found the oil? Geologists maybe?

As a professional paleontologist that has visited the TMM and studied its collections, I am ardently opposed to any diminution of its budget or capabilities. Texas is one of the richest states in the union and its citizens deserve first-class natural history museums.

The Texas Memorial Museum is an invaluable resource for the public to undertand evolution in a state where ignorance is often favored over education. Moreover, the fossil collection at TMM is one of the most important records of vertebrate evolution in western North America, and is regularly visited by students of life's history from around the world. Please continue to maintain this incredible resource.

In a state where many residents question the reality of evolution, it doesn't make sense to remove one of the only public venues where people can see the evidence for evolution first hand.

I'm 64 years old. We Austinites grew up with that incredible museum. It reflects our heritage. In no way should its funding be cut!

The Texas Memorial Museum is a state treasure. I sincerely hope that the budget will be adjusted to maintain this showcase of Texas history.
