McNay Art Museum

Came here for violin concert last night and it was amazing! Very friendly staff, very professional. The museum adjacent to the event area had a prelude music rehearsal with the quartet while you’re immersing yourself with the beautiful ballet exhibit. Clear instructions and I got to see the fountain at night. They had open bar, water was available and decent crowd. You should be able to see their events on the site. And to top it all, I was able to retrieve my purse I forgot the night. A whole different level of respect to the staff promoting music, arts, culture at the least. Must see if you’re in San Antonio.

I was absolutely stunned by this beautiful museum. My husband and I pre-ordered same-day tickets, which we were able to show on our phones, and came in without any issue at all. Parking can be tight in the front, but they do have plenty of additional parking to the left. The museum has different sections including a sculpture hall, special exhibitions, and their main collection. They even had a Spotlight! section for local children’s art. The collection really was phenomenal, with a large variety in pieces and plenty of things to see. One of the current special exhibitions was Designing Shakespeare, which featured set, costume, and prop designs for different Shakespearean shows throughout history. It was just perfection. All in all, it was a very fun trip, and I am excited to return. I would heavily recommend the McNay to anyone who wants to look at fantastic art in this city.

Excellent selection of choice art and sculptures both inside and outside on the garden grounds. They also have exhibits that change throughout the year. I very much enjoyed all aspects of this fine place. Staff were very helpful and informative throughout my visit here. You will love this place inside and outside for sure.

First time visiting with my family and we had a wonderful time observing all the art. They have many Picasso paintings which we enjoyed and a wonderful special exhibit. Well kept grounds, the staff were all so friendly, beautiful sculptures, and clean restrooms. Highly recommend. Free for military and veterans which was a bonus.

This is an incredible destination to immerse yourself in the beauty of art and the richness of history. It seamlessly blends modernist elements with traditional charm, creating a unique and harmonious atmosphere. Whether you’re drawn to contemporary masterpieces or classic works steeped in cultural heritage, this place has something for everyone. It's highly recommended for anyone who holds a deep appreciation for art and seeks an enriching experience. Make sure to add it to your list of must-visit spots!
