Traveling exhibit: Forgotten Gateway: Coming to America Through Galveston Island
The Czech Center Museum Houston Presents
Forgotten Gateway: Coming to America Through Galveston Island
A traveling exhibition by the Bullock Texas State History Museum presented in partnership with Humanities Texas.
On view From FEBRUARY 6, 2025 to April 28, 2025
From 1845 to 1924, the Port of Galveston was a major gateway for American immigration. This exhibition is the first of its kind to explore Galveston’s legacy as a port of entry on a national scale. It brings to light the little-known, yet rich, era of Galveston’s history and importance to the growth of Texas and the American Midwest.
While Ellis Island’s location in New York made it a natural port for Europeans, Galveston attracted a diverse group of people from Europe, Mexico, South and Central America, and even Asia. The exhibition highlights enduring themes in the history of immigration including the dangers of the journey, making a life in a new land, navigating bureaucracy, and confronting discrimination.

Harafica
Traditional folk music band Harafica from the Czech Republic is heading to Texas! During its Texas tour, the cimbalom band will perform in Houston, Austin, and LaGrange. The concerts of Harafica will introduce more than just traditional cimbalom music and Moravian folk songs.
A young band born in the heart of Moravian Slovakia, Harafica ranks among the best bands to listen to in the Czech Republic. Led by experienced cimbalom player and music director Petr Gablas and lead violinist Martin Melichárek, this charismatic group has earned recognition on the domestic front, gaining many fans among Czech audiences.
Although firmly rooted in folk music, their music-making and projects stretch much further, and they don't shy away from mixing both modern and classical music either. The result is a fusion of overlapping genres and the band’s own compositions.
An evening with Harafica is a one-of-a-kind experience filled with folk and traditional tunes and a cocktail of genres including cinematic, modern and world music.
