The Museum of the Big Bend collection began with an arrowpoint
found in the Sunny Glen area of Alpine, Texas, in 1920. From such a
humble beginning, the Collection has grown many times over. From
fossilized remains to contemporary art, the Collection reflects the
broad diversity of the Big Bend region. To schedule an appointment for
access to the Collection, please contact Mary Bones at 432.837.8734 or maryb@sulross.edu.
