by ongoing research activities of the Museum and the Lubbock Lake Landmark. The gallery is currently closed while it is being updated. Expected reopening date is end of 2023/early 2024.
Talkington Gallery of Art
The Talkington Gallery of Art combines works from the Museum's collection with a significant donation from Margaret and J.T. Talkington, long-time Lubbock business and civic leaders. The gallery features selections from 20th and 21st century art of the Southwestern United States. This art reflects the people and landscapes of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, portions of Colorado, and Utah.
No particular type of landscape represents the Southwest, and no singular art style
defines it. The exhibit samples many divergent paths that artists from the Southwest
have followed, from realism to romanticism, from impressionism to expressionism, from
minimalism to conceptualism, and more.

William C. and Evelyn M. Davies Gallery of Southwest Indian Art
The William C. and Evelyn M. Davies Gallery of Southwest Indian Art displays extensive collections of art and handicraft, representing more than 20 Native American tribes from across the greater southwestern region. Now part of the holding of the Museum, the Davies amassed their collection through studying, visiting museums and pueblos,
and cultivating relationships with the artists themselves. The collections feature both historic and modern works, including ceramics, textiles, wood carvings, basketry, and mixed media. These pieces demonstrate the patterns and styles of the artists as well as individual tribes and represent a variety of utilitarian, trade, and creative items.
