The Panhandle-Plains Historical Mu-
seum (PPHM) recently debuted its new-
est exhibit, “Dali’s Wonderland.”
PPHM is excited to welcome this new
exhibition in its Bugbee Gallery.Original-
ly published by Lewis Carrollin 1865,the
dream-like world of ”Alice in Wonder-
land” is a natural match for the surrealist
art movement. Ahundred years later, Sal-
vador Dali, surrealism’s most important
figure, illustrated a version of the story
that incorporated his iconic melting
clocks and other avant-garde imagery.
Featuring a limited edition copy of the
book from the personal library of SybilB.
Harrington, it was a gift from her daugh-
ter Sally.This book came into Panhandle-
Plains Historical Museum Collection in
2022 through the help of the Harrington
House and Jessica Mallard at WT. “Dali’s
Wonderland” explores the relationship
between art and literature.
Located on the campus of West Tex-
as A&M University, PPHM offers visi-
tors a chance to step into Texas Pan-
handle history with special exhibits, a
permanent collection, special events
and more. For more information about

The play’s to-member cast is under the
direction of Ray Newburg, longtime pro-
gram coordinator, who says Hellman’s
searing tale of family betrayal that made
its Broadway debut way back in 1939has
relevance yet today. “Good pieces of liter-
ature stand the test of time; they don’t
show their age;’ Newburg said. “This play
contains certain universal aspects ofhu-
man behavior, of family dysfunction and
greed, that are very recognizable today.”
