The Grace Museum is a nonprofit cultural institution based in Abilene, Texas. It traces its origins to 1937, when the Art Unit of Women's Forum established the Abilene Fine Arts Museum in Rose City Park, and after a campaign to save the Hotel Grace, the building was renovated and the museum adopted the Grace Museum name in 1992, aligning with its downtown presence. The museum earned reaccreditation in 2021 from the American Alliance of Museums, signaling adherence to professional standards. Its facilities include five art galleries on three floors, a photography gallery, a history gallery, six historical period rooms, an interactive art space for families, and an education center with a research and children's library. Each year it presents 12 to 15 exhibitions and serves more than 55,000 visitors, with outreach through distance learning and TEKS-aligned instruction for 1st–5th graders in local and rural districts; in March 2026 the Abilene Independent School District announced a partnership with The Grace Museum to provide field trips and hands-on experiences with other local cultural organizations.
