Excellent
exhibits,
layout
and
the
accompanying
information
to
each
exhibit
was
succinct
and
paints
a
good
picture
of
the
era.
A
well
thought
out
museum
where
you
flow
easily
through
time
especially
in
the
colonial
history
(first/ground
floor)
and
lone
star
history
(second
floor).
Their
sharks
section,
which
seemed
out
of
place
(I
guess
the
place
is
aimed
at
families
with
little
children),
has
a
few
noteworthy
fossil
reproductions,
including
a
couple
which
are
250-150
million
years
old.
The
ancient
history
+
colonizers
section
had
interesting
exhibits
about
the
French
and
Spanish
expeditions
to
colonize
north
America.
Second
floor
was
all
about
the
lone
star
state,
and
about
the
wars
between
the
Mexicans,
US
colonizers,
and
Native
Americans.
It
also
had
exhibits
talking
about
immigrants
such
as
the
Chinese
who
built
railroads
and
ran
businesses,
and
about
the
history
of
slavery
and
racism.
Third
floor
was
all
about
culture,
farming,
animal
husbandry,
oil
and
gas,
and
NASA's
presence
and
missions
from
the
state.
Overall
a
great
experience.
Can
be
covered
in
1.5
hours
if
you
read
quickly.
Recommend
2.5
hours
if
you
want
to
take
your
time.
