The preview of the Phil Collins collection will be open from Wednesday, March 2 through Sunday, April 24. It will move into the new Exhibition Hall & Collections Building when it opens later this year.

ā€œThe Phil Collins Preview is just a taste of what will be on display in the Exhibition Hall & Collections Buildings when it opens later this year,ā€ Kate Rogers, executive director of The Alamo Trust, Inc., said in a news release. ā€œWith our plans for even more immersive exhibits, including an interpretation of the south gate in Alamo Plaza, a visit to The Alamo is quickly becoming a much deeper, narrative-rich experience that it has ever been before.ā€

Due to Texas Independence Day, admission to the preview will be free to the public on Wednesday. After that, admission will be $5-$9 to the public, but free to members of Friends of the Alamo.

Admission to the archaeology exhibit will be free.

The news release adds that the ā€œAlamo Archaeologyā€ exhibit lets visitors see an excavation unit and learn about archaeological discoveries.
