It is housed at the University of Texas at Austin in the football stadium.  Entering the stadium and taking an elevator to the 5th floor, visitors are greeted by the Warren Lincoln Travis dumbbell and a large main room with a stein display and large paintings.  To the right is the library and research archives.  To the right are the exhibits. As I cannot do justice or organize my thoughts, I will just do a photo dump with my pictures and why they jumped out to me. I did talk to Patty at the research center and she is familiar with the USAWA and has several of Bill's Strength Journals as Terry Todd was a subscriber. Frank Zane in a vacuum, Lou Ferrigno in a front double bicep and myself in overhead hands out double biceps.  These paintings were just cool. Ter...
