This is kid friendly however please keep in mind the age of your child and limitations that they can do - you can't be too close to artwork or speak too loudly- which they have people to monitor that as you're in each room- Doesn't feel too heavy on the watch but definitely have to stay quiet to enjoy Regardless kids, family and friends this is a must see in Austin - especially visiting or being local

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!

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!

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.

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.
