The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History invites you to explore the natural history exhibits and a collection of artifacts that tell the history of the New World as it unfolded on the Gulf Coast. Check out the unique life-sized replicas of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria ships. The vessels were a gift from Spain to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World. They were constructed from authentic 15th-century materials, including wood from the same forest as Columbus' ships and hand-forged nails. Other exhibits include an interactive shipwreck display, artifacts related to French explorer Robert Cavelier, the Children's Wharf, Native American crafts, and bird and reptile eggs that chronicle the history and culture of South Texas.

Did you know that The Ritz Theatre is one of the last historic buildings remaining in Corpus Christi? It was built in 1929 and was the first talking movie theater in the area. The Ritz was one of the finest theaters in Texas and is now best known as The Ritz Music Hall, which housed a great range of artists from Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Ray Vaughn to Metallica and Def Leppard in the 70s. Recently, PATCH, the non-profit organization behind the restoration of The Ritz, has launched a dynamic new action plan. They have published a manifesto about Corpus Christi, a "State of The Ritz" document, and a call to the community for help.
