Do you have an art expert’s explanation of the items?
The Bandera Natural History Museum New Spain Art Wing will be opening soon and you will be immediately whisked off to the 16th century by seeing 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!
