A groupon made the cost even better. This was a really cool outing. There was so much more to see and learn than expected. The animal exhibits were really nicely set up, the fossils and ancient cultural artifacts were amazing. We were genuinely surprised at the Spanish art exhibit. The number and diversity of original pieces (paintings, sculptures, carvings, and hand worked decorations) along with the shipping display and the other centuries-old tools made it woth the time. The staff was friendly, informed and helpful as well. The outdoor dinosaur displays are stunning and HUGE. Our group ranged in ages from 3 years old to 62. We all left saying how great this experience was. Don't let the rural location steer you away. This was a really worthwhile time.

I've lived in Kerrville for over 16 years but have never visited the Mansion. Hearing of the…read morespecial Christmas tours this week, a friend and I decided to go. This special tour benefited the Hill Country Youth Orchestra; having played in the San Antonio Youth Orchestra, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a small donation and take a tour to boot. As expected, the Mansion was decorated for the season; the garlands wrapped around the banisters were particularly beautiful. We started on the second floor, which resembles a large ballroom, with a short video presentation on the history of the place and its occupants throughout the years. A short presentation by a docent followed whereupon we were free to look around to our hearts content. Then it was down to the first floor where the two highlights were a beautiful parquet floor and a chandelier which was an original fixture of the building. There were hand-blown bulbs of colored glass which, unfortunately, could not be lit lest they burst. Then it was into the kitchen for cookies and wassail; those who wished could step out into the garden with its beautiful hand-crafted fountain. Of particular interest was a glass-pane door flanked by two large pineapple statues, the symbol in the South of hospitality. If you're in Kerrville, try to avail yourself of a tour of the wonderful home, especially if you have children with you. They can see first hand what life was like more than a century ago and come away with memories of this beautiful place.

This is a very nice museum in the Texas Hill Country. We had attempted to come here once before but…read moreit had been closed. We were happy that on this attempt we were able to go inside and see the gallery. The price is $7 a person unless you are a first responder or military. The docent did a good job of explaining the layout of the museuem and pointed out some interesting facts about the building itself as well. There are a few different sections of the library such as the painting galleries, the open floor in the beginning and the Texas history section where children can explore and interact with the exhibits. It's not a large museum but there were a lot of paintings and statues to look at. Definitely recommended. Parking is easy and there are also statues outside as well.

I suppose that as a born and bred Texan I should be ashamed to admit that I don't care for western…read moreart--well, I'm not; I just don't care for it. As I child I was inundated with images of cowboys fighting Indians which disturbed me as I'm a member of the Nez Perce Tribe. And then there were pictures of cowboys sitting by the campfire, riding the range, sitting atop a bucking horse--on and on and on. Ho Hum! So it was with some trepidation that I went with a friend to the MOWA today. He is an artist and I went mainly for the purpose of listening to him comment on the finer points of the art--shading, lighting, etc. And I was ready to see row after row of heroic cowboys slaughtering the heathen Redskin. What I found was pleasantly surprising. Yes, Native Americans were well represented, but in only one sculpture was there the typical cowboy and Indian fight. In fact, one large painting portraying the Native American ceremony of Summoning the Buffalo was as moving as it was beautiful as I remember participating in such a ceremony with I was a child. The collection is not vast but the quality of all the artwork was excellent; they were framed artfully and lit properly. Of particular interest was a wagon made by the Studebaker company--yes, the same Studebaker that generations later produced automobiles. And there are docents ready and willing to add greatly to your experience. No need to go on a group tour; these folks are there every day to make the West come alive. A word needs to be said about the building. It was the last public project designed by the noted architect, O'Neil Ford whose well-known projects in San Antonio consisted of La Villita, the Tower of Americas and Trinity University to name a few. While the exterior is indeed stunning with its heavy wooden beams and stacked limestone retaining walls, the interior has 23 boveda domes made of lightweight Mexican brick (a sample is available for handing). As you can see from the attached photo, the domes are art in themselves. So the next time you're in Kerrville--or like me, a resident--do visit the Museum of Western Art. Take it from one who doesn't particularly care for the genre--you'll enjoy it.

Other rooms house collections of old books (*everybody* carried a Bible back then), pictures of family relatives long gone, Wurlitzer-style pipe organs, long-gone paper currencies, even a pair of stuffed cougars named Charlie and Sally! While there we also adopted *cough cough* a stuffed longhorn which was promptly named 'Chisholm'. Since there was also an art exhibit going on, we got a chance to watch a couple big-name Western scene painters like Jack Moss and David Godfrey at work. Definitely worth a visit the next time you're in Bandera!
