The South Mall stretches from the Tower to a row of six buildings housing liberal arts departments, flanked by live oaks. The Blanton Museum of Art, with over 21,000 works, is one of the largest university art museums in the country. The Harry Ransom Center houses the Gutenberg Bible, the first photograph, and extensive literary archives. The Peter O'Donnell Jr. Building houses computer science. The Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium seats over 100,000 for Longhorn football.
