Reviews
"Came to visit the area in a February and wound up spending some time in this museum. Enjoyed the free visit. Not a huge place, but definitely full of information and insights of the college and surrounding area. The full life-sized flying dinosaur (sorry, can't spell it!) was very impressive as was the fossilized bones of just ONE enormous wing. The usual cowboy, frontier, and old-time exhibits were also around to be enjoyed and to learn. Definitely a fun & interesting place to spend the time and if I had young kids it would be a MUST see spot."
"We were at the museum for over 3 hours. It’s an amazing place to visit in Alpine. Information on Big Bend region of Texas, historic maps of Texas, gift shop, all on the campus of Sul Ross."
"Great small town feel museum. Learned a good deal more about the area and Texas. I especially enjoyed the art exhibits."
"Nice, small museum. The new addition is art work but still very nice. My grandchildren enjoy going there also."
"This is a great little museum located on the campus of Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. It tells the story of the Big Bend region and those who first came here from Europe. There are some great prehistoric artifacts and beautiful artwork from local region artists. The maps, located in the basement employee area, though few in number, were also very interesting. Enjoy the photos."
