The Main Gallery of the Museum of East Texas is home to The Stafford Collection now through October 18, 2024. This exhibit features 146 paintings created by 48 artists from the private collection of Lufkinite Harry Stafford and family. The works span the centuries and subject matter ranges from street scenes to big cats, portraits to fruit, landscapes to details of desks.
