SUMMARY:Discovery Day: Corals of the Gulf
DESCRIPTION:What lies beneath the surface of the Gulf?\nDiscover an incredible underwater world during the Texas Maritime Museum’s upcoming Discovery Day: Corals of the Gulf\, a free\, family-friendly come-and-go program at the Texas Maritime Museum on Saturday\, August 15\, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. \nJoin educators from Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary\, home to spectacular coral reefs located about 100 miles off the Texas coast\, for an engaging afternoon of hands-on exploration. Through interactive activities\, fascinating specimen samples\, and captivating videos\, you’ll discover what corals really are\, how they build thriving reef communities\, the surprising creatures that depend on them\, and the challenges these remarkable ecosystems face. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how scientists monitor coral reefs over time to better understand and protect these underwater treasures. \nCoral reefs are much more than beautiful underwater landscapes; they are an important part of the Gulf’s maritime environment. They provide habitat for countless marine species\, support healthy fisheries\, and have influenced navigation\, exploration\, and scientific discovery throughout the Gulf for generations. By learning about these living reefs\, we gain a deeper appreciation for the waters that have shaped Texas’ maritime heritage. \nWhether you’re a curious child\, an aspiring marine biologist\, or simply someone who loves the Gulf\, this program offers something for everyone. Drop in for Discovery Day: Corals of the Gulf anytime between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.\, explore at your own pace\, ask questions\, and experience one of Texas’ most extraordinary natural wonders without getting your feet wet. \nThere is no charge for admission (though donations are gratefully accepted)\, and all ages are welcome.

Arriving April 23\, 2026\, in the museum’s main gallery\, this extraordinary traveling exhibit will transport visitors to a pivotal moment in history\, where the currents of the U.S. Civil War reached far beyond the battlefield and into the heart of the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. \nDeveloped by the Community Historical Archaeology Project with Schools (CHAPS) at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley\, this immersive exhibit brings together groundbreaking research and engaging displays to illuminate the complex social\, political\, and economic forces that defined the region during this turbulent era. \nVisitors will discover how the Civil War reshaped cross-border commerce and trade\, influenced delicate political relationships between the United States and Mexico\, and relied on the courage and contributions of soldiers of color stationed along the Rio Grande.

SUMMARY:Painting History: A Guided Plein Air Art Program
