McNay Art Museum

This beautiful Spanish Colonial revival-style palace is located 5 miles north of downtown and was once owned by artist Marion Koogler McNay. Even more impressive is McNay's 700-piece collection of European and American art, which she gave to the city following her death in 1950.

The McNay Art Museum today has a collection of nearly 22,000 works. As you move from room to room, you'll come across gem after treasure, with Van Gogh's Women Crossing the Fields standing out among works by European painters like Picasso, Matisse, Cézanne, Munch, and Rodin. Photographs, sculptures, and paintings by Alexander Calder, Magdalena Abakanowicz, and Joan Mitchell are among the works in the modern and contemporary art collection. There are 19th and 20th-century prints and graphics, as well as medieval artworks. The collection, which spans the Renaissance to the twenty-first century, cannot be presented in its entirety at any given moment.
