The Museum of the Big Bend is highlighting the work of Edward Curtis June 17th to September 3rd.
Between 1900 and 1930, Edward S. Curtis traveled deep into Indian territories and lived among dozens of Native tribes. His dedication culminated in the production of The North American Indian, the most extensive and expensive photographic project ever undertaken.
Using the Museum’s Collections, thirty photogravures by Curtis and original maps from this time period will be on exhibit.
Both collections were gifted to the Museum by Yana and Marty Davis.
The Museum of the Big Bend is open Tuesday-Saturday 10am to 4pm
