This week you may be aware of our annual Buc Days Festival! The first EVER Buc Days parade in Corpus Christi was on May 3rd, 1938! 🏴‍☠️ The museum is known for displaying the coronation dresses in the famous Kenedy Gallery for many years now. This elegant dress is made up of more than 6,000 hand stitched sequences on the train alone! Las Dona’s de la Corte is an organization of woman active in the civic and social life of Corpus Christi and has produced the coronation since 1954. 👑✨ #museumthings #collections #collectionitems #bucdays #history #historyfunfacts #bucdaysparade #onthisdayinhistory #local #royalty #CorpusChristi #south #southtexas #themoreyouknow #ccmuseumofscienceandhistory #downtowncc #fyp #museumtiktok #historytiktok

We love our furry friends at the CCMSH, so today for #thingsinjarsthursday we’re talking about the history of Dirofilaria immitis aka canine heartworm!🐶🪱🫙 This parasite is often found in wild and domestic canids throughout the world, especially in the United States. Francesco Birago made the first known reference to canine infection of D. immitis in the seventeenth century by describing the presence of adult worms inside the hearts of his hunting dogs, although he mistakenly identified them as larvae of another parasitic worm.🤯 #museumthings #collectionitems #collections #wetlab #wetspecimens #parasites #science #sciencetiktok #sciencefacts #history #historytiktok #fyp #museumtiktok #themoreyouknow #south #southtexas #ccmuseumofscienceandhistory #downtowncc
