Texas Meets Mexico 

After five years—and $4.4 million—the newly renovated Museum of the Big Bend has opened at Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas.

The 18,000-square foot facility focuses on the history, archaeology and culture of the Big Bend Region, along the Rio Grande, near West Texas and the Mexican border. Its various collections will help researchers investigate the area’s heritage.

The project was a cooperative venture between state and local governments, the university and local residents.
