Alamo Images Exhibit at Library

09/12/08

ALAMO IMAGES is an art exhibit on display in the lobby of the Townsend Memorial Library at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor through the end of September.

The exhibition, ALAMO IMAGES, has been created by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Dallas, to celebrate the Texas Sesquicentennial.

Through photographic images and words, it explores what the Alamo means to Texans, the role of Mexican-Texans in the Revolution, and reasons why the Alamo story continues to fascinate people of all ages.

Featuring more than 150 photographs, the exhibit traces the history of the Alamo as mission, fort, and shrine; the drama of its siege and fall in March 1836; and the recreation of this drama in poems, plays, novels, games, toys, comics, television programs films, documents, paintings and monuments.
