Capturing Texas and Beyond

October 16 throughDecember 15, 2024

 

DISCOVER TEXAS'S RICH HISTORY THROUGH the exhibit Capturing Texas and Beyond: A Journey Through Historical Photographs, an extraordinary exhibit featuring rare daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and cartes de visite.

On loan from collection, Curt Robbins, these historic images offer a unique glimpse into the people and places that have shaped the state. In addition to Mr. Robbin’s collection, the San Jacinto Museum is also featuring a special collection of historical photographs, many of which highlight Texas San Jacinto veterans and their families. Visitors will also see images of prominent Houston figures, including the Binz family, offering a deeper glimpse into the people who shaped Texas history.  Displayed across both the permanent and special spaces, visitors will have the opportunity to explore Texas’ past as well as other state’s past. This collection captures key moments in time, making it a must see for anyone interested in Texas history and early photography.
