Description

Bandera Natural History and Art Museum is a unique destination where art, history, and nature seamlessly come together. One of the most notable features is the New Spain Art Collection, which boasts over 150 pieces from the New Spain period (1521 to 1820). This extraordinary collection, the first of its kind in the United States, includes works from renowned artists such as Juan Correa, Miguel Cabrera, and Jose de Ibarra.

The museum also features a detailed model of the Manila Galleon Isabella, which showcases the crucial role the Manila Galleons played in transporting art and goods along trade routes from Manila to Acapulco. This historical exhibit gives visitors a glimpse into life aboard these monumental ships, adding an extra layer of cultural depth to the museum’s offerings.

Beyond the art, the Juan Infante International Hall is home to exotic taxidermy displays from around the globe, including Africa, Asia, and North America. Visitors can explore six dioramas showcasing the wildlife and habitats of Texas Hill Country, adding a natural history element to the museum’s appeal. Additionally, their outdoor trail offers another layer of exploration where guests can enjoy the local flora while understanding conservation efforts firsthand. With an 18,000 sq. ft. space featuring international wildlife, colonial art, a museum shop, and the cozy Café Twiga, this museum is perfect for those seeking an enriching cultural and educational experience.
