We were there just two weeks ago and I (too) am a history buff and novice military historian in my retirement. We rushed through in about 3 hrs (had to be elsewhere) and should have allowed at least 1/2 a day as there is much to see. DO NOT miss their Max presentation “The Star of Destiny;” it’s terrific. Heads-up: don’t be surprised if your GPS gives you a fit on finding the entrance. There is a major construction project in front of the museum and it’s best to enter the parking deck off of W. 18th St and use the elevators OR walk around the building from W. MLK, Jr Blvd. Also, try to visit the Texas State Cemetery (across town). There some fascinating stories (through guides at no cost) and some exhibits.

Q:
How long does it take to see it? If we come in at three will we have time to see it all?
A:
Hi, we also arrived around that time. We saw the whole museum but toward the end we were rushed. Depends on how much you read but I would think 3 hrs is ample time. Have fun.
