Spring Branch Independent School District has built an art museum that is one of the most innovative learning environments and community resources in the United States. It houses a collection of art and artifacts valued at more than $2,000,000.00, comprising over 600 works from around the world.

The Altharetta Yeargin Art Museum collects, exhibits and interprets the art of world cultures in all mediums and periods. Working in collaboration with district administrators, educators and community members to coordinate exhibits and school curricula the Museum strives to be both meaningful and relevant to all grade levels and areas of academia through its exhibits and programs and offers learning opportunities and cultural advantages to the entire community in order to enrich the educational and cultural environment of Spring Branch.

Study trips to the museum are scheduled for all second graders from the 25 elementary schools in SBISD for the fall.  A Road Show for first graders featuring works from the museum will be offered to all SBISD elementary schools in the spring.  The first Saturday of the month we host "First Saturday" Open Houses (see more below). During the summer kids 5-11 join us for "Tall Tales and Art". Funding for these programs has been provided by the Houston Endowment, Spring Branch Education Foundation, the Baxter Trust, Texas Commission on the Arts, ConocoPhillips, the First Junior Woman's Club of Houston, and a J. Landon Short Mini-Grant
