Evening for Educators: Nature and Foodways

Experience the Bullock Museum – the biggest classroom in Texas – through special tours, activities, and film screenings. Designed for teachers of all grade levels and subjects, this free event will introduce new film-related curriculum guides and activities, professional development opportunities, and unique classroom resources. Enjoy prize drawings, refreshments, the company of fellow teachers, and receive an SBEC-approved certificate of participation.

From farm to fork, food connects us to our planet, our bodies, and each other. Our Global Kitchen, a highly interactive, multi-media exhibition from the American Museum of Natural History, explores the historical, cultural, and scientific intersection of humans and food.

Journey Into Big Bend through timless landscapes and stories that connect people to this treasured National Park. In honor of the 100th anniversary of the formation of the National Park Service, the Bullock Museum shines the spotlight on the Big Bend region with stunning photography, personal artifacts, and reflections from eight individuals who have protected, explored, adventured, and come to love this vast and valued ecosystem.

Come anytime from 5-8pm, but you won’t want to miss these scheduled events:

5:00-5:45 pm Refreshments in The Story of Texas Café
