“Texas! The Exhibition”

Yes, there’s a little something about the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto in “Texas! The Exhibition,” but neither of those storied events takes center stage. Guest curator J. P. Bryan says, “The whole purpose of the exhibit is to show the incredible history that we all share in Texas. There’s much more to Texas history than the Alamo and [the Battle of] San Jacinto. To me, those are just two interesting components in a very rich and varied history.”
