February 27 – September 5, 2010

Numerous donors since 2000 have contributed to the PPHM art collection, making it one of the most significant in the country for its depth of Texas and Southwestern historic art. 

Such acquisitions will make up the content of the exhibit including the oldest known painting of the Texas Panhandle, an 1876 watercolor by E. H. Ruffner; pieces from PPHM’s Albert Schmidt Collection, the largest in the world; W. Herbert Dunton’s 1910 painting General Custer and I Were Nearly the Same Age and the Best of Friends, found in an office building in downtown Wichita Falls; and one of the museum’s latest acquisitions, Thomas Moran’s major 1894 oil painting The City of Mexico.
