Mayborn's Bronze Mammoth Dedication

mammoth Bronze Rendering

 

We are thrilled to announce that our bronze mammoth sculptures, which have been eagerly anticipated, are now complete and ready to be unveiled at our upcoming 20th Anniversary Gala on May 17, 2024, presented by H-E-B.

Created by renowned sculptor Tom Tischler, these mammoths embody our mission to spark curiosity and inspire lifelong learning. Modeled after real specimens from the Waco Mammoth National Monument, they’ll spark curiosity in Central Texas’ natural history.

The dedication ceremony will kick off with welcoming remarks by our director, Charlie Walter, followed by Tom Tischler, the artist, sharing a few words. We’ll conclude with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the official unveiling of the statues to the public.

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of celebration and the chance to witness the culmination of our milestone anniversary.

 May 17, 2024

Gala begins at 6:00 PM, Dedication at 6:15 PM
