Undergoing a lot of work. Many exhibits aren't working, have missing information, or are absent completely. Signs explaining the missing exhibits or future projects (and maybe estimated completion dates) would have been helpful.

Shipwreck video needs to be further away from the front desk.

The desk staff weren't able to answer questions, which would be okay, but they did not seem interested in trying to help or find anything out.

The costumed museum staff were great and very helpful! There wasn't a lot for younger kids to do or interact with, but the costumed staff were fun.

Overall, the layout of things and construction/renovations were confusing. The museum is unfinished, which is understandable, but signs explaining this (in advance and throughout the museum) or knowledgeable desk staff to help would be nice.

The local history section, Nuecestown, and shell collection were very informative. The geology and oil refinery section has a lot of potential. Edit: The shipwreck, shipbuilding, and Spanish travel sections were also nicely done. Those also had a lot of information on the Karankawa people.
