She almost died collecting a shell.
It’s one of the most harrowing moments of Tina Petway’s career as HMNS Curator of Malacology, and just one of the unforgettable stories from a lifetime spent exploring the natural world.
Join us at HMNS Sugar Land for the inaugural Museum Stories, an intimate conversation series featuring the curators, scientists, explorers, and museum leaders whose adventures, discoveries, close calls, and untold stories rarely make it beyond the exhibit labels.
Make an evening of it at HMNS Sugar Land. Food and beverages, including a cash bar, will be available for purchase. This event is for adults 21 and up only.
