eventdetail
Artist Unknown, Fandango (Fiesta de pueblo) (detail), mid-19th century, oil on canvas

The Tejanos are the descendants of the earliest Mexican settlers who came to inhabit what is now Texas, long before the Alamo, Sam Houston, or statehood was established. These pioneers left behind an ancient way of life but carried with them stories, rituals, and resilience that sustained them in a challenging and often hostile land. The exhibition tells the powerful story of Tejano origins - their struggles and triumphs, their profound connection to the land, and their enduring faith, culture, and traditions over four centuries.
