Photowalk: AstroWorld Exhibit at Alvin Historical Museum

We’re gathering a small-group visit the Alvin Historical Museum to explore the Traveling AstroWorld History Exhibit and the museum’s fascinating permanent collections. Come capture moments across museum halls, souvenirs, and pieces of local history.

You may have seen some of the AstroWorld exhibits if you joined us on our Houston Toy Museum photowalk, or our visit to the Arcade Expo in 2024. Donald Hayes, the curator of the artifacts, has again invited us to a museum exhibition of his massive AstroWorld Collection.

NOTE: If you're not able to make it to this event, the AstroWorld Exhibit will be at the Alvin Historical Museum from July 5th to September 6th, 2025.

You can read more about the AstroWorld Traveling Museum on it's website, https://astroworldmuseum.com/. And information about the Alvin museum is available here: https://alvinmuseum.org/. Address to the museum is 302 W Sealy St, Alvin, TX 77511.

We’ll keep the group small to ensure everyone has space to shoot comfortably. Our photowalks welcome you no matter your gear, DSLR, mirrorless, or just your phone, everyone’s welcome to share in the creative energy.

WHY PHOTOWALK AT ALVIN HISTORICAL MUSEUM?

• The Emigrants at Nightfall Depression‑era mural by Loren Mozley was restored and sits here since 2015.
• With over 400 unique AstroWorld items, including wardrobe, signage, photos, toys, and keepsakes. It's an opportunity for detail-rich stills that tell a story of a beloved Texas theme park.

We’ll meet at the museum entrance in the morning.
