Monday Moments - A Gem in Irving TX

Enjoyed a one hour little adventure in Irving.  The Irving Archives and History Museum turned out to be a new little gem. Within 30 minutes of my house.  New modern building that opened in Feb 2020 - oops bad timing.  But now it is in full stride.  

This exhibit called Thrift Style was curated in  Kansas and featured here.  Feedbags turned  to clothing during  the Depression era.  Really cool.  Early repurposing done in style. 

Irving  history - stuff started popping  here when the original Cowboys  - Texas Stadium was built.  Had the hole  in the roof so  "God could watch his team".   Yeah,  yeah - that's the myth. 

 And a rather sobering art exhibit called "La Frontera: The Border" was coordinated by the Dallas Latino Society.  Various artists explored the heartache of the border situation.  A lot of the works gave one pause.  Wow.  Very powerful traveling exhibit. 

This "new" museum is a gem.  I will  go back as new exhibits arise.  Thanks, Irving.  Money well spent.
