The permanent collection space is currently being renovated and is closed till November. A special exhibit of Goya PRINTS is interesting, albeit morbid. An installation exhibit of a Chinese artist on View.

Wide variety of artwork. Many famous artists, beautiful facilities. Even though I'm very impressed with the Renaissance paintings my favorites are the contemporary abstract works.

Austin was bereft of art galleries and the Blanton opened to welcome hoards. We immediately became members and enjoyed the multiple different exhibits we have viewed over the years of them being open. We frankly just don't get out enough to check them out.

Got to be honest, I went on Thursday when it is free. Really enjoyed strolling the galleries and looking at the amazing art pieces. They also have a better than average cafe. Sandwiches are real good. Nice half day trip.

On our visit there was a Goya exhibit. We were able to see the exhibit with a guide, who was great at giving historical facts peppered with fun facts to draw in everyone in the your from teens to adults. The museum store across the way from the museum is a must! Ages in our group 12-40's

Free admission and beautiful exhibit space. There was a yoga class going on near the lobby. The cafe is over-priced. Parts of the museum were closed for renovation.

The Blanton exhibits are so much fun to view. I get surprised by their daring presentations. They have an extensive permanent collection which is always fun to visit often and the new artists they bring in are exciting and refreshing to view and enjoy.

The permanent exhibitions are closed and the temporary ones are not impressive enough to have a charge. The staff does tell you that the main floors are closed before you buy a ticket but ....don't bother visiting its not worth it.
