the safety measures that bring these
scenes to life. A centerpiece of the ex-
” hibit is a collection of props and cos- ‘
tumes from the critically acclaimed
television series ‘1883,” parts of which
were filmed in the Amarillo area.
“Amarillo’s landscapes provided a
dramatic and authentic backdrop for
1883,’ making our region an integral
part of the series’ success,” said Sher-
man Bass, Greater Amarillo Film Com-
missioner. “This exhibit not only show-
cases the horses that brought these
stories to life but also honors Amarillo’s
role in Western filmmaking and story-
telling.”
