Various exciting items inside the museum include our icon “Twiga” (Swahili for giraffe) – a 17-foot Masai giraffe, a 2000-pound solid jade tiger, a life size triceratops dinosaur skeleton reproduction used in the movie “Night At The Museum”, the Trail of Habitats — six hand painted dioramas with over 100 animals along with corresponding flora and fauna used to inspire wonder about wildlife and their habits and habitats. In addition, there are many other exhibits. The museum also has 18 life size dinosaurs plus four play stations on its 8 acre grounds, a gift shop with items starting at minimal prices, plus the Twiga Café and Patio with vending machines for drinks and snacks.

The soon-to-be Bandera Natural History Museum Art Wing has commissioned the building of a one of a kind model of the famous Manila Galleons ... Spanish trading ships, which for two and a half centuries linked the Philippines with Mexico across the Pacific Ocean, making one or two round-trip voyages per year between the ports of Acapulco and Manila, which were both part of New Spain. Just one more exciting and unique feature of what will be a world class exhibition right here in Bandera!

Excitement is building as the new Art Wing takes shape. The steel for the new building was delivered prompting some unexpected help! (OK, Fine, it didn't happen quite like this, but it is here)!
