    Absolutely beautiful museum! Perfect for a day out and not overwhelming one bit. I happened to luck…read moreout and observe this museum on one of their free entrance days- the first Sunday of the month. Best to arrive around opening time to get parking up close. A sculpture garden surrounds the museum so there's plenty of areas to stroll and take photos. This museum resides in a gorgeous 1920s Spanish colonial revival residence built by Marion McNay. The building itself is art with its wood detailing, arches, and intricate tile ceilings and floors. The actual art collection consisted of over 20,000 items, but only some are displayed and occasionally on rotation. The collection embodied European and American art of the nineteenth century, twentieth, and twenty first centuries. Sooo much to see- paintings, special exhibits, vase collection, Angelica Raquel Mystic Threads, sculptures, and a lovely garden/pond/fountain containing koi. The museum has a gift shop, restrooms, and a special collection of art displayed by many artistic school children. My new found artist I discovered here was Carl Rice Embery. A pure Texan, his art was amazing ! Initially I thought the pieces were photographs, but up close they are actual paintings. That's how realistic they are. Simple Texan scenery. We had a great time and would definitely come back!

    Beautiful collection, architecture, landscaping and grounds at this museum. Their garden in the…read morecourtyard 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.

    We had a lovely time at Ruby City for Mother's Day. Parking was easily accessible with available…read morestreet parking and a limited free lot down the street. Entrance to the museum was free and although the collection was small, it was colorful, interesting, and full of personality. We browsed the gallery and took pics, note: no flash photography. Directly across the street was the beautiful, well manicured Chris Park. Carefully placed concrete art benches with meaningful engraved messages were scattered throughout the park. There's also a sweet covered picnic area to relax or have a small party. Peaceful and a nice retreat. A small art building resides in the park containing a gallery of a particular artist. We thoroughly enjoyed the colorful exhibit. Forgot to mention there's an outdoor sculpture garden next to Ruby City. Super cool! Must check out. Highly recommend this place for art lovers ! Spent a few hours and had a grand time .

    I had no idea that this museum existed! Plus- it's free! We made a reservation online, but didn't…read moreneed to as there were only 2 other people here on a Sunday. The staff was very friendly and directed us and provided us with guide material. This museum is quite small- you can easily get through the indoor portion within an hour. There is a large variety of modern art, and there was even a Picasso piece. I like the mix of artists which includes local art as well. There's a few sculptures outside to view as well, and it's a very peaceful green area. We had no trouble with free street parking, but I can see how this would pose a problem if you visit on a busy day. Amazing thing to check out in the city for free though!

    I was so looking forward to this and then was incredibly disappointed. I paid for both shows. The…read moreMonet show was enjoyable and lasted about 45 minutes, but the Van Gogh show only lasted about 20 minutes. There was little motion added to his art like they did with Monet, and the area was stuffy despite big fans being in the building. The website said an hour for the show, so I thought that meant one hour for each. Extremely overpriced for what you get.

    Thankful that this experience was a comped ticket experience, but even so, what a waste of $12 on…read more3-hours (minimum) parking in the lot....y'all, by the time you pay to park, you'll want to leave. We were in and out within eight or ten minutes max, and that was because we dragged out each step to make the most of the time and effort it took to get here. Literally felt like walking through an AI drafted experience that scraped info from Wikipedia...they clearly didn't even consider hiring a quality UX designer to ensure that the paragraphs were properly formatted.... Hopeful it wouldn't be a complete of waste, we thought maybe we could get some cool photo opps with the Van Gogh sunflower projection show...they didn't even have the right show playing. Bruh. 0 stars. Trust the look on the ticket check-in clerk's face...yep, turn around.

    This is a better view of the entire room than they show on the webpage and ads. Interesting, but could have been so much more.

    This is a review of Mexic-Arte Museum's Annual Viva La Vida Festival - Austin's largest and…read morelongest-running Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) event. It's a fun festival and a wonderful Dia De Los Muertos event here in Austin. Recommended for the whole family! I went to the festival and saw the grand procession for the first time last year and was really impressed with the giant papier-mâchés, costumes, and dances. This year is their 40th year. According to the their website: "Festival activities run until 6 p.m. There's an Education Pavilion with hands-on art activities and artist demos, traditional foods, local artists and retail booths, a low-rider exhibition, and live performances throughout the day."

    In route to the Austin Visitor Center (just a few feet away), I noticed Mexic-Arte Museum…read moreespecially the neon depiction of Guadalupe in the window. It was a place on my bucket list, but never really had time to visit. With a bit of time off this week, I decided to take a peek in. The heavy doors open with a strong push, and you feel transported to a completely different space and time. The museum is quiet, solemn and reverent. The museum is located at the intersection of Congress and 5th. I literally have walked by this museum hundreds of times and not gone in...it is easy to miss if you're rushing by. The museum is dedicated to Mexican, Mexican American, and Latin American art. Rosas y Revelaciones, the current exhibit, celebrates one of Mexico's most enduring spiritual and cultural icons. Featuring wearable and textile works by artists from 16 states across Mexico, the exhibition showcases devotion and innovation through garments inspired by La Virgen de Guadalupe (virgin of Guadalupe.) The galleries are small and intimate. Each gallery appears to have a specific purpose. In addition, after your stroll through the museum, you have the opportunity to purchase some items in their gift shop. It was quiet yet immersive experience.
