Curator: Frank Cordes
Curator: Kathryn Siefker
Abstract: Covering 16,000 years of human habitation in the land now known as Texas, the major, core exhibition gallery features the ship, La Belle, excavated from Matagorda Bay in the mid 90s by the Texas Historical Commission.
Abstract: La Belle: The Ship That Changed History is a 6,000 square foot special exhibition that examines the more than three hundred years of history of a French ship and its demise off the coast of Texas. Heralded as “one of the most important shipwreck discoveries in North America,” the La Belle was part of a failed 1684 expedition led by French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle to establish a colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
