This is an excellent museum, well laid out, at $5 it is very reasonably priced and the docents are helpful, friendly and enthusiastic. It is easy to find on the Sul Ross Campus and in an hour...

We came here not expecting too much and left very impressed with what was there. We especially liked the "Tall Pictograph" display and description. This museum is very well done indeed!

Great little museum on the Sul Ross campus. Very friendly staff and great gift store. The museum gives a nice history of the Big Bend area from the dinosaurs to now. Beautiful art and map rooms as well. Well worth the stop!

Great clean museum with lots of Big Bend history as far back as prehistoric times. It's like stepping into a timeline. Lots of beautiful artwork too. A must see in Alpine Texas.
