We recently visited the museum to see a special exhibit on Latin American folk art. It was so well displayed and informative. The museum has an amazing permanent collection, and it is well organized. The art is arranged by category--i.e. Asian, American, etc.--so you can easily find what interests you. The gift shops are wonderful, also!

One of San Antonio's jewels for tourists and locals alike. It is conveniently located near downtown and can be reached by the River's Museum Reach by water bus or water taxi. Several good collections offer both the casual visitor or an interested connoisseur access to art from various time periods. The ancient Greek-roman collection is well represented, while the contemporary... More

This is my second visit to the museum on tour with 45+ middle-school students. Both times we have been welcomed and led on tours by knowledgeable docents. The variety and depth of the exhibits is amazing. Don't miss this one!

My wife and I went on free Sunday from 10-12 (they are also free Tuesday from 4-9), which was great! I wouldn't pay too much to go to an art museum, I'm just not that into it, but this was very fun!

It would have worth it even to pay full price. Enjoyed the building and views from upstairs. The... More

Old brewery converted to a nice art museum with extended visiting hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Worth the visit

The SA Museum of Art is another gem in a great city. Easier to find than the McNay (also a must see for the art lover) it is located along the upper Riverwalk just North of downtown. The museum is housed in another converted brewery (also see the Pearl) and offers a nice selection of art from several periods from... More

Pretty extensive collection of art from all over the world. Quality of the pieces varies but overall worth a trip and about 3 hours of viewing time (for a quick once over). Good collection of contemporary American art and paintings.
