Beautiful collection, architecture, landscaping and grounds at this museum. Their garden in the courtyard is so peaceful and stunning. We enjoyed visiting on a weekday, it wasn't crowded and nice to walk around to see their permanent collection. They have a small gift shop but I wish they had a cafe! Maybe I missed it but I didn't see one. Worth the visit and would love to come back. They seem to have different events. Parking in their connected lot.

10/10 amazing educational place to bring the family. Thursdays is free after 6pm. Definitely recommend making the McNay Art Museum a must stop in San Antonio.

It was interesting to learn about Marion McNay and experience first hand the original art pieces and sculptures from her personal collection. Marion McNay grew up with an interest in the arts. As a child, her parents took her to a world art fair in Chicago where she would witness art she would one day own. Wow. It's amazing to see how her life unfolded as an art collector. She became a heiress to her parents. Her first major acquisition was a child's portrait by Diego Rivera entitled Delfina Flores circa 1927. This piece of art was mentioned many times and pictured as a centerpiece in her dining room. It gave me chills witnessing how her collection and house would one day be on public display as a major art museum in San Antonio, Texas. Who would ever imagine that one woman buying art and sculptures to curate her collection in a mansion would one day be shared with the public?!? Life is unpredictable and unfolds the way it would. The art pieces and sculptures are tasteful. I feel slightly drawn to her collection. There were sculptures by Rodin, Degas etc and art work by Diego Rivera, Modigliani, Monet, Picasso, etc. Despite her multiple marriages and the rapid death of her first husband, Marion McNay continued with her art collection. She has no children. Her house and art collection are now admired by the public as a major art museum. I look forward to learning more about Marion McNay, the house and the art she left behind to provide the people of San Antonio "a place of beauty with the comforts and warmth of a home."

I am going to be brutally honest here - I was underwhelmed by the McNay. I understand that you cannot compare the McNay to the Uffizi or the Prado but even compared to the Kimbell in Fort Worth it doesn't hold a candle. Since they are not explicitly a modern art museum I expected that they would have a slightly better balance within their collection especially with their google description being "American & European art (from Medieval to contemporary)", but they might as well rebrand to the McNay Modern Art Museum with how modern centric the collection is. Speaking of the collection - it is also much smaller than I expected. You can be in and out of there within an hour. They have free admission on Thursdays from 4-9pm and I highly encourage utilizing that as I would under no circumstance pay $20 for standard admission. I am glad the community of SA has museums like this to encourage engagement with the arts but I would just approach the McNay with managed expectations.

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.

WARNING: THINKING OF DOING PHOTOS HERE.? We chose McNay for exactly the reasons of its reputation and stunning beauty for the perfect backdrop for photos. We paid $50 to be only on a few areas on the grounds which is fine. Bride & Mom arrived dressed to meet photographer and took our pictures. Once done we walked to front building and before opening the door we were refused to use the bathroom... I simply asked why can't we use the bathroom in general while we do my daughter will just slip off the gown. I'm sorry we don't allow that. Allow what paying customers to use the restroom??? Ridiculous! Absolutely outrageous. Even if it was about the photos I mean We paid more than it costs to visit the museum as a regular customer and we weren't allowed to even see it all. Not only were we told no but they were laughing and shaking their heads (mall cop and desk clerk) before we even entered the door of the building. This treatment and behavior is not only unacceptable, terrible customer relations but also snotty. I feel sorry for sad people as yourself because your life will always be lacking with that mentality, seriously. I would have given it a 1 star but still give this museum 3 stars because it's such an awesome museum; but the rude snobby underserving and unprofessional employees obviously know nothing about building a business relations. How can photographers encourage their clients to come here? They cannot; so your job will go away because unmindful inconsiderate hospitality. I hope the owners of this museum care about this post because if I were them; I would. So I am sharing this terrible experience that ended a beautiful day.

The McNay is my favorite museum in San Antonio. The campus is beautiful and they have an amazing collection mixed with classics and local artists. Local college students are offered free admission with a student ID !

One of my favorite places to go. The McNay will always hold a special place in my heart for both the collections and the architecture. This museum can be viewed in a quick hour, or a paced half day. Thursdays are free from 4-9pm which I'm surprised more people don't take advantage of. Great docents and staff, who are always there to help and educate. I try to never miss the installations, as they NEVER disappoint. The team curating, does a fantastic job.

Entering the Museum

One of the ways to keep busy and get a touch of culture, is to visit the Mcnay Museum of Art. General admission is free every Thursday from 4-9 p.m., courtesy of H-E-B, and first Sunday of every month from Noon to 5 p.m., courtesy of the Dickson Allen Foundation, with a cost of $10 for special exhibits. Exploring the beautiful building that houses the art and looking at some famous pieces of art, was one way to kill a couple of hours of our The McNay is a converted home with a gorgeous fountain patio and interesting sculptures spread throughout the front lawn. The art doesn't change in the main area, but they will add small exhibits towards the back area. The day we visited, they had a public-school student art exhibit and miniature dioramas from famous movie sets. They always have a new main exhibit at the left of their entrance, that is not included in the free admission, but is sometimes about $10 per person. We had children with us this visit, so I thought they would be bored, but they loved exploring the place, especially the fountain area and looking at sculptures in the front lawn. Really was impressed art the place and the fact that it was free for the day we visited.

We travel to San Antonio from Austin for our urgent art fixes. The McNay is splendid and nearly always satisfies my soul with shows that surprise, refresh and restore me to a good place no matter what life throws at me. That's a lot. One more thing: This museum is combining new virtual art from masters like Jennifer Steinkamp with Impressionists, Mexican muralists, and contemporary sculpture in a genius way. It is brilliant, and a guiding light for art museums everywhere.

Very nice place filled with so much that catches your eye. I wanted to come and see the nightmare before Christmas exhibit before they took it down. I was expecting more but nevertheless I enjoyed my visit. Students get in for free while they offer other discounts and offers to military, and seniors. The place it nice and quiet. The general admission price is 10 with an added price for the special exhibits. They had an interactive experience exhibit where you can engage with your creative side. The place doesn't seem overwhelming with only a few levels and turns. Staff was nice and greeted us often. They have a small shopping area when you first walk in. I would recommend and come back to see what other things they display. It is very nice inside and out. We did take a nice walk outside and took a few pictures.

The McNay Free Family day was a great event! There was live music, food trucks, and a couple activities for the kids like a community mural, origami, scrapbook pages, and screen printed tote bags. The Photo Booth unfortunately closed earlier in the day and there were a few activities that ended before the day was over. I think it was a great opportunity to bring kids to the museum and have them involved in the arts. I'd love to see more programming from the McNay.

This time, I really took my time reading about the artwork and exhibits, and it made the experience so much more fascinating. Each floor had its own unique collections and displays to explore. My favorite part was the Chinese vases exhibit. I don't remember seeing it before, and it was incredibly interesting. It was something completely new to me and definitely stood out during the visit. It was a little warm inside, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and we had a wonderful time. I definitely plan on bringing my other sisters here in the future. Highly recommend checking it out, especially on the free admission days!

During our trip to San Antonio in July, we wanted to visit a second museum in addition to the San…read moreAntonio Museum of Art. After doing some online research, I came across the Witte Museum. Since it featured dinosaur exhibits and a special Pterosaur exhibition, it seemed like the perfect complement to the artwork on display at the downtown art museum. When we arrived, we found the museum conveniently located just minutes from downtown. We parked in the covered garage adjacent to the museum and made the short walk to the entrance and ticket counter. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the museum offers military discounts for veterans, which was a nice bonus. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by several dinosaur displays in the main gallery, which immediately caught our attention. I had never seen a Pterosaur skeletal display before, and the sheer scale of the exhibit was incredibly impressive. Of course, there was also everyone's favorite, the mighty T-Rex, prominently on display. In addition to the prehistoric exhibits, the museum featured displays highlighting native Texas wildlife as well as a live conservation area showcasing living animals. One feature I particularly enjoyed was the second-floor overlook above the T-Rex exhibit. It provided a unique perspective and was an excellent location for photographs. We also opted to visit the special Pterosaur exhibit, which required an additional admission fee. The highlight was a giant life-size Pterosaur replica suspended from the ceiling. It created a dramatic centerpiece and made for some outstanding photo opportunities. The exhibit also included several interactive displays that were popular with younger visitors. We spent about an hour exploring the museum, which was the perfect amount of time before heading across the street to P. Terry's for lunch. Overall, I would rank the Witte Museum as my second-favorite dinosaur museum, behind the Dinosaur Museum in Rapid City, South Dakota, which features 98 prehistoric reptile and dinosaur displays along with an enormous T-Rex that visitors can view up close. Even so, the Witte Museum was highly impressive and proved to be a very rewarding stop during our five-day vacation in San Antonio. If you're planning a visit to San Antonio, I would definitely recommend adding the Witte Museum to your list of attractions. Whether you're interested in dinosaurs, natural history, Texas wildlife, or traveling with children, the museum offers something for everyone.

I've been to the garden several times now, always during different seasons and special exhibitions, but this most recent visit may have been my favorite. Being in October we enjoyed a taste of "fake fall" so the weather was absolutely perfect for strolling through the different areas throughout. The trail along the Texas woodlands is always one of my favorite areas, but the true showstoppers of this recent visit was the special Jardín de las Catrinas exhibit happening during my visit. (although to be real it was the whole reason I was visiting that day) Such a wonderful exhibit that I hope the garden brings back in future years.

The café is wonderful, and there are endless spots for incredible photos or hosting special events. A couple of constructive notes for the management to make it even better: * Gift Shop: I'd love to see standard fridge magnets available! Also, tone down the embarrassingly overpriced Mexican knickknacks/tchotchkes. * Refreshments: Please consider swapping out the obscure, generic sodas nobody has heard of or wants to buy for familiar, name-brand sodas. Get rid of the beer. Overall, this is a world-class park that every resident and visitor needs to experience. Don't wait as long as I did to check it out!
