Art Museum of South Texas

After touring the port, I visited the Art Museum of South Texas.

Originally designed by Phillip Johnson in 1972, with an expansion (seen to the left) done this decade by Designed by Victor and Ricardo Legorreta of Mexico City. I had visited the museum originally in 2005, which I believe was before the new wing opened. They have a nice collection and they currently were exhibiting a bunch of Ansel Adams prints. They had some interesting cards in the Museum gift shop which I bought.

Texas State Aquarium

In honor of Columbus Day I went to the Texas State Aquarium:

It's a very nice aquarium, they have a nice amount of fish.

The boat's name is "Working Together", you can tell it's trawling not only by the lines its dragging, but by the display of the black hourglass shape you can see near its antennae (for more: Chapman Piloting & Seamanship).

Across the bay is the newly expanded Art Museum of South Texas, designed in 1972 by Phillip Johnson before he turned all Po-Mo.
