    The Houston Museum of Natural Science presents From the Pecos to the Rio Grande, Texas’ Big Bend, June 19, 2010 through January 9, 2011. Mezzanine, second floor.

    Located in far West Texas, the region of Texas that is embraced by the big bend of the Rio Grande is one of the most spectacular areas in our country. Founded in 1944, the Big Bend National Park, the grandeur, remoteness, rich history and dramatic ecological diversity have caused it to take on almost mythic status with travelers who find their way there.

    Houston photographer Michael H. Marvins has made the long drive to Big Bend many times and has captured the heart of the land as represented in this selection from his portfolio and book by the same name.
