TimeLine: 200 Years
OPENING March 2, 2024 through June 9, 2024
What has happened in 200 years? Globally? Locally?
Globally, the Industrial Revolution led to massive sustained economic growth starting around 200 years ago in Great Britain, quickly reaching the US and the world, triggering a new era for humanity. Locally, a small settlement was founded by Martin de Leon that would evolve into the City of Victoria.
In between the local and the global, countless stories were created by settlers, immigrants, ranchers, indigenous peoples, armies and many other sources. And like any history, these stories echo in the South Texas area today.
The theme is a nod to the bicentennial, but within our culture today, carries multiple meanings, from combined years of experience to the personal experience of a family and their ancestors. The focus will be 200 years around Victoria but will also work to include the longer history of immigrants and travelers who found their way to Victoria through trial, opportunity, and serendipity.
With the City of Victoria approaching its bicentennial celebration in April of 2024, the Museum will acknowledge and participate in the all-year celebration
Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art is located at 1201 North Moody in Victoria, TX. Normally, during exhibitions are open to the public 12-5pm Wednesday through Sunday. Admission at the museum is always free.
