Palestine, TX. Curious, Palestine’s popular arts/science museum, has opened and features a new exhibit. This exhibit features artwork by well-known local artist, Janet Staples. The exhibit, Texas Heroes, presents captivating images of 12 famous men and women who were a part of early Texas’ history.

The exhibit is on loan from the Texas Oil and Gas Association in Austin, TX. It will be on view at Curious October 26 – December 30, 2017.

The Curious Store features numbered and unnumbered prints of the Texas Heroes by Janet Staples, sold both individually or as a set. Many regular Store items are currently marked half-price to make room for new merchandise.

Curious will continue to feature its popular hands-on science exhibits and the artworks that complement them. They will enhance the problem-solving features in the Texas Heroes exhibits.
