Beginning Sept. 13, visitors can can delve into the history of the Alamo Church Sacristy and embark on an immersive journey through time.
A sacristy is typically a room within a church where a priest will prepare for a service.
The revitalized exhibit will take visitors through the sacristy’s evolution across centuries, according to Alamo Trust officials. The project includes interpretive panels, media projections, reader rails and a soundscape, all of which lead visitors through the space’s storied existence.
The exhibit also showcases the artistry of frescoes of the Mission Era, and aims to offer a deeper understanding of the techniques wielded by the artists who created the intricate artworks centuries ago.
Admission to the new exhibit is free, but visitors will need to reserve timed-entry tickets.
