Certainly a very interesting visit it’s free runs on donations basis the gentleman that I spoke with gave me the history of the museum which was very pleasant surprise to some of the information that he advised of.The Mexican war over 6 million Mexicans lost there lives in that and the former owner of the house used to be a wealthy sugar plantation owner back in south Carolina and moved down to El Paso.

Very neat little museum with entrance by donation only, no cost required. I loved their Egyptian and African collections. Fun eclectic things to look at! Pancho Villa room downstairs and also a collection of dolls.

Had time to study the intricacies of the Mexican Revolution in the beautiful exhibits laid out in the Mexican Revolution exhibit room. Learned what they forgot to teach in the history books.

There were two separate exhibits: Rosario Acostas show and the International Eye of the Camera. The first was an exhibit of her paintings, the other one an exhibit of photographs by various artists. They had finger food fir the attendees and wine at one of the exhibits. El Paso Art Association had an award ceremony for the best photographs. Itd be nice to see more people attending. The museum is in itself a beautiful work of art.

This museum has some really great historical pieces, as well as a wonderful collection by El Paso artist Kolliker who is of Suisse/German descent. When we visited, it looked like they were hosting a wedding, which makes since because the space is beautiful !!! Highly recommending checking it out

Its been a long time since Ive been to this museum and Im always surprised. This time my sister and I learned a lot from one of the staff members who gave us a full history of the building and its original owners. I would highly recommend everyone (visitor and locals) to check this place out. International art, sculptures and more for those who love learning and leaving with a WoW feeling. They even have a haunted doll too!

Fun for our family! Our daughter, whos very into art, really enjoyed it and was able to have her questions answered easily. They have very unique pieces and the story of how the mansion is a key piece of El Paso history and culture is truly one of the best parts. A free *must* see (kick in a donation - its worth it)!

We went to the museum to listen to a wonderful concert with Ruben Gutierrez. There were so many people, we didnt continue to see the art. But we will.

This is my most favorite museum in El Paso. Located in a historic home on Montana Ave they have free movie night on Saturdays and an awesome collection of French, Chinese and Mexican art as well as contemporary pieces from local artists. If you can get the tour from one of the curators they give you the best details about the house and the time period that it was built and lived in, like the fact the family would throw revolution parties during the Mexican Revolution and they would host company on their balcony to watch the fighting across the border. Super Cool!

They have an amazing collection of art and other exhibits as well as 4 rotating galleries used by local artists to showcase and sell their work. There are special shows and events throughout the year, also the museum has space available for rent, weddings, birthday parties or other special occasions.

Please help fund and save this cities unknown gem!El Paso’s international museum offers those who enjoy art and culture a magnificent time.Within the free admission you are offered a self or guided tour of the facility in which you will have the opportunity to appreciate both local and worldwide art!The mansion is located in a historical district which is a treat in its own! I highly encourage all art lovers, history junkies as well as travelers to visit! Take a cruise by some El Paso’s oldest neighborhoods , I dare ya!

Review №38

Honestly, its nice to have a museum so near downtown, so near housing where some children are farther away from the culture museums provide. However, the Museum of Art near the museum of natural history is infinitely more interesting and will entertain more so than the International Museum of Art.

I visited the museum the afternoon of Sunday September 3, 2017. It was a fantastic experience. The personnel were friendly and very helpful. I was lucky to be in El Paso and able to visit the museum on the second day of the annual International Art Show with the excellent art on display consisting of the winners of the juried event. I love art and I also love to buy art. Ill be back in El Paso and for sure, back at the International Museum of Art.

Was there for bingo & mimosas 2day. Very disorganized & standing up for playing bingo was not fun. Host was very slow calling numbers. Should have used beans or macaroni shells to play bingo instead of stickers. Mimosas advertised were no where 2-b found. Not the event that was advertised!

One of my favorite places to visit when I am in El Paso. The Museum is housed in the former home of one of the early citizens of El Paso show donated her home to the city! You will discover new exhibits every month that may surprise you. Many of the artists are from our region but there are also other art work that has been donated to the museum.If you are in El Paso during the month of November 2016 please stop by because I am showing my work there! You can see it in the photo below!On November 16th Las Palmas Medical Center hosted the First Annual Bras and Boots of The Borderland at the International Museum of Art. The museum was the perfect setting for this creative art charity event to support families confronted with the financial strains often associated with fighting cancer. The staff at the museum was beyond professional and helpful in making this first event beyond successful. If you are looking an event venue in El Paso you should check out the museum.
