Tom Lea: Chronicler of 20th Century America presents the United States as seen through the paintings, illustrations, and writings of Tom Lea. As a quintessential chronicler of the 20th century United States, Tom Lea captured the hauntingly beautiful western frontier and its people.
Whether it's pint-sized players running around on a city field or professional athletes suiting up for big games, football matters in Texas. It's fitting that the most extensive and comprehensive professional football exhibition ever to go on tour will make its first Texas stop at the Bullock Museum. Gridiron Glory presents the panoramic story of professional football, from its humble beginnings in the late 19th century to its current status as a cultural phenomenon.
