New at the Museum

Central Texas in Focus:
​Animals and Wildflowers Photo Contest Exhibit

This exhibit showcases stunning photographs captured by local photographers during the Animals and Wildflowers Photo Contest. The exhibit is open and free to the public.
​
Earlier this year, the museum hosted a photo contest centered around the theme of animals among Central Texas wildflowers, encouraging participants to capture the unique beauty of our local landscape. The exhibit features these photographs while also exploring facts and folklore surrounding our native wildflowers.

While the exhibit is open, visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite photographs. A $5 donation will get you 5 tickets which you can use to vote for your favorite photo or photos. Winners will be chosen by popular vote (50%) and a judging panel (50%). The 12 winning entries will be featured in a 2025 calendar produced by the museum. In addition to having their photographs featured in the calendar, winners will receive a free copy of the calendar and one free ticket to the museum's annual Christmas Home Tour in December. The deadline to vote is Saturday, September 14. 

Visit The Falls on the Colorado Museum to see beautiful photographs and learn about the fascinating wildflowers that make our region so special.
