Dozens of artifacts and documents donated by music star Phil Collins are key attractions among the 500 historical items on display at the Alamo's new Ralston Family Collections Center.
are key attractions among the 500 historical items on display at the Alamo's new Ralston Family Collections Center.
Nearly nine years later, the March 3 public opening of the collections center, with 10,000 square feet of gallery space, has allowed the Alamo, for the first time, to display dozens of items from the Phil Collins Texana Collection. The helmet’s brass detailing depicts a Mexican eagle with a snake in its mouth. But Collins notes its resemblance to French military apparel.
Kane, who went on two Arctic expeditions in search of British explorer Sir John Franklin, had the knife fitted with a reindeer antler he found at the grave site of Franklin and his crew. A silver plate on one side of the handle was inscribed, “Reindeer Antler from ‘The Graves.’"
