The culture museum was closed which we wanted to go. The buildings that were moved to there were closed because of climate. The quilt show was awesome took lots of pictures. Could only take pictures of the outside of the buildings we wanted to see. Ok only 4 stars because we did not get to see what we went for. Yes they are renovating the museum about the culture and history. Touring the houses or building was a disappointment since we couldn't.

Interesting mix of art, history, and classic architecture of culture of the Harlingen area. Free admission and worth a visit.
