Czech Center Museum Houston’s new exhibit features a series of lithographs by Joachim Barrande, showcasing the geological diversity of the Czech Republic.
19th-century geologist and paleontologist Joachim Barrande discovered Prague’s vast fossil deposits in the 1830s. He spent years mining and documenting the different specimens, publishing volumes of lithographs in his famed work Système silurien du centre de la Bohême (1852–94; “Silurian System of Central Bohemia").
Thanks to a donation from Anna Stanley, the Czech Center Museum Houston will feature original proof sheets of Barrande’s lithographs.
Join us for the free grand opening of the collection on Thursday, September 23r from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
