Some artistic former Longhorns are putting their art on display.

Through the Eyes of Texas: Masterworks from Alumni Collections is currently underway at the Blanton Museum. The display includes 200 works of art.

Curators wanted to bring together classic art with contemporary pieces.

"Things are grouped into pairs, or small groups, where it’s just very easy to decide for yourself what links them together, why are they talking together on the wall," Annette Carlozzi with the Blanton Museum said.

Through the Eyes of Texas: Masterworks from Alumni Collections ends this Sunday.

We go from the cutting edge of Marvel Studios to good old fashioned storytelling in the weekend's new releases. The settings span from Spain, Scotland, and Ukraine, to an off beat art documentary that all takes place in Austin.

"Iron Man 3" is already a smash hit overseas, outselling "The Avengers'" opening weekend in international markets. Reviews are through the roof as well, and no other major releases will compete this Friday.

Here's what's headed to the screen in local theaters.

Wide release:
Iron Man 3 (PG-13)

Limited releases:
The Angel's Share (PG-13)
Blancanieves (PG-13)
No Place on Earth (NR)
