South Texas Exhibit
Visitors can view the different animals in the El Campo area in their
seasons here at the museum. Find the Ruby-throated Hummingbird fluttering
through the flowers, or see what the O'possum is trying to reach for in the
tree.
The Texas exhibit is close to home. Taking photographs of the Sandy
Creek area, artists created a backdrop for the animals typical of our area.
If you're not careful, you'll miss the small quall that seem to blend into
their natural surroundings in this exhibit. Dirt, driftwood, barbed
wire, an old oak tree, and Texas wildflowers cover the ground, while a mural
depicts the natural setting. Artists captured Texas' natural colors
through painted trees, grass, water, and sky.
An interactive computer providing more information about the animals in this
exhibit awaits the curious visitor. View the live-action video of the
White-tail deer, or guess what sound Bob-white Quails make. Information
regarding this and more is at the El Campo Museum. |
