San Antonio Museum of Art

I had a fantastic time at this Museum! I loved sitting and reading the plaques that had exposition and backstory on the item it was attached to. I kept finding more interesting things to sit and research briefly on a bench provided. I easilly spent 3 hours there and honestly wanted to stay longer, but my paid parking was running out of time. I came 5 years ago and it was amazing, and it was just as cool this time around, even seeing some of the same artifacts. I'd easily go back to view the things I had to rush past! I wont post too many photos because I dont want to spoil the fun of discovery... You should truly go see for yourself!

The San Antonio Museum of Art is a wonderful place to spend a few hours (maybe half a day). The collection is diverse, with art from all over the world and different time periods. The layout makes it easy to explore and appreciate each section at a comfortable pace. I enjoyed seeing both the ancient pieces and the more modern works. The building itself is beautiful and adds to the experience. It is a great spot for anyone who enjoys art and culture.

What a beautiful place! My husband and I came here on a Tuesday afternoon. We got tickets for one of their two times for Bexar county residents to come free, which I would recommend if you are also a resident. I want to note here that the parking lot beside the museum is a paid lot. It was about $8 for a four-hour slot when we came, which was plenty of time to get through the whole building. It took us about two and a half hours to go through all of the sections, and we enjoyed every bit of it! It took us about two and a half hours to go through all of the sections, but we enjoyed every bit of it! The pieces at the museum are very well curated and displayed, and each section is distinct in its specific period and art style. I took a few photos of some of my favorite pieces. It was so fascinating to see art from thousands of years ago all the way up to the present! We talked about the art the entire ride home. If you’re looking for a beautiful way to spend part of your day, look no further than this spot!

My husband and I absolutely loved this museum. I personally enjoy studying paintings, and my husband is obsessed with Greek and Roman history. We visited on a Thursday after my brother graduated boot camp, and it was the perfect place to relax in the AC and take in the beautiful pieces the museum has on display. The museum is a lot bigger than we thought, and is 4 stories high. There are 2 elevators on either sides on the museum. We didn't have enough time to check out floor 3 or 4, but we'd definitely come back if we find ourselves in San Antonio again. We bought our tickets through CityPass, so checking in was fast and easy.

A cool place to visit on a hot summer day. It houses collections from ancient Egypt to China, as well as some contemporary art. The place is not crowded, and you can come with a city pass. It’s close to the river walk, providing a quiet and relaxing experience.

Love it. So fun, sooo cool in various ways. Highly recommend. Heard a lovely lady saying that a walk around the museum is roughly 1500 steps and a nice way to get those steps in. Highly recommend. Students get in free.

Great museum! Has different events to check out throughout the year. The art is amazing. Worth checking out.

Beautiful exhibits. They really did work hard on making sure there is unique and interesting pieces here, which definitely is not the case everywhere. Takes a couple hours to get through it all, depending on how long you stare. Currently running an Indian Exhibit that is well done and informative. Gift shop is available with all the requisite merchandise you can ponder. Would recommend to visitors in the area.
