The term "knight in shining armor" isn't just for romantic fairy tales. Chivalry and duty are bound together by the masterpieces of European arms and armors from the Medieval and Renaissance ages all the way up to the 1800s. In the Middle Ages, knighthood was closely linked with horsemanship and jousting and was considered high fashion among the nobility of the 15th century. The provocative beauty and exquisite craftsmanship of the armor revealed the figure of the knight, his code of chivalry and his battlefield role. Learn about all this and more when the "Knights in Shining Armor" Exhibit comes to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. See full suits of armor, helmets, corselets, shields, swords and other weaponry in an exhibit exploring the themes of love and war, jousts and tournaments, and historical context. You'll marvel at the still-life ("Natura Morta") armor installation, even as you whisper silent words of thanks for being born in the era of modern-day stretchy pants. Your voucher gains you entry on any date through the exhibit, which is in Houston until May 2018. [less-]

Sarah Palin, the GOP's first female vice-presidential candidate, became a conservative icon and Republican kingmaker. Donna Brazile, the first African-American to head a presidential campaign, went on to lead the Democratic National Committee at a critical juncture in the 2016 campaign. They couldn't be more different -- or more surprisingly similar. Both are political trailblazers known for speaking their minds and for passionately speaking out for ordinary Americans. In this powerful conversation at Cullen Performance Hall in Houston, two of the most respected and outspoken women in American politics examine our increasingly polarized country and the future of the Republican and Democratic parties. This very honest look at both sides of the partisan divide offers new hope in the values and ideals that can bring Americans together. [less-]
