The Pearce Collections Museum at Navarro College will close for the holidays Dec. 22 through Jan. 19.
During this time, the entire Western Art gallery will be repainted and a new hanging system will be installed for the art collection.
Three new temporary exhibitions will debut on Jan. 20 when the museum reopens: “War on the Water” will tell the story of the building of the Union and Confederate Navies, the blockade, and the Battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac; a smaller exhibition, “Defending their Honor: Men of Color in the Civil War,” will provide an interesting perspective on African-Americans serving in the Union Army; and, in the art gallery, “Don’t Squat with you Spurs On: A Little Cowboy Humor,” will reflect the lighter side of cowboy life.
The museum hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays noon to 4 p.m. Regular admission fees apply.
