This is ALWAYS a Great place to visit even if there ISNT a special event going on. The best thing its FREE and the Art exhibits change periodically depending on the time of season. It is a walking distance from the entrances regardless of where you park. Taking a stroll to get to the building is always nice and shady. The summer time can be extremely hot so make sure to take bottled water. This location does have elevators depending on an event they may block off that area but accommodations can be done. There are Restrooms available for those visiting and it is handicap accessible.

This was my first visit to the Mexican Cultural Institute and I was impressed!! Their doors were open welcoming people during the opening night of Fiesta downtown at Hemisphere Park. The colorful pieces of the Mexican culture were brought to life by a docent telling the story of the creatures, each a mix of different animals. Really interesting and a great experience.

Theres always something interesting to see, and there very friendly.

This is a cool little place that is often overlooked by even those that live in the city. Lots to see and do.

Nice little contemporary art exhibit with free admission. The museum only had one exhibit on the first floor when I visited the other day but typically has displays on the second floor as well. It is located in the middle of Hemisfair Park and is easiest accessed by parking in the South Alamo Lot then walking to the museum. Will be back!

Free, small, cool, and awesome.

I highly recommend this museum. The artists are so talented and the admission is FREE.

This is a very unique building. The artwork is very different from room to room. One room I liked (linocuts) and the other room was contemporary crayon drawings from what my 4 year old niece draws.All in all, its worth a visit.

The Día de Muertos event was exquisito! November 1, 2019 from 6:00 to 9:00pm, we viewed the crazy beautiful altar installation, enjoyed DJ Rambo’s music, pan de muerto and drinks, met fabulous people. Minister Sergio Zapata welcomed us. Master of Ceremonies was none other than Poet Laureate Carmen Tafolla. Ramon Vasquez y Sanchez spoke of hosting the first Día de Muerte in the USA here in San Antonio. The audience enjoyed Master Calaverista Nephtali De León, Healer Joyous Windrider Jimenez, and the Artivist who designed & installed the amazing Dia de Muertos Altar, David Zamora Casas.

The paintings were not impressive. So much Mexican culture that could have been portrayed here instead of some of the paintings they had. Really leaves more room for improvement. At least it was free

Excellent exhibits on Mexican modern art and topics of interest. Really enjoyed the mezcal exhibit.

A nice place to walk through and see see art from another culture.

Lovely display of punched metal table and floor lamps and wonderful woven shawls. Friendly desk attendant. Takes less than 20 minutes to view all pieces. Worth the time. Exhibit changes periodically.

I don’t understand what the whole big deal is about this “rape trump” picture is? I read it and it says that it was on the Mexican side and it was painted over or covered in 2016. I don’t think anyone is advocating for anything to happen to Trump. Just saying, relax, breath, and take a chill pill.

The most ridiculous art ever displayed shouldnt even be called Art really basically trash on display!I guess thats what you should expect coming from a third world country!

Great exhibits! Saw the parks they are building in Mexico City. Looks real nice!!!

There was a couple of pieces that I really really loved, and Im generally not an art person at all. The floors were old, and thats why its a 4. But honestly it doesnt really matter, if give 4.9 if I could.

Went to see the free screening of Roma at the Institute. Im sorry the Institute itself was not open. Ill be back to look at it another time.

They have different exhibitions. Best to call and find out what is showing.

Just ran across a picture (online) that’s currently on display. The words “Rape Trump” are written on it. This is not art. School groups go through this museum every day. It’s not appropriate for our children to see this agenda. It teaches hate and disrespect. This is not ok, not even in the name of “art.” I will not be visiting and it needs to be taken down. Shame on whoever felt it was ok to display this.

Very sickening that they have a picture there that says Rape Trump. It doesn’t matter what you believe that should never be posted about ANY president. We need to teach our children to respect the office and the person in office.

Great art and its free admission. We had a really good time!

Great place sadly hidden

The museum staff was very professional. The guided tour was insightful.

I love all the sculptures they have outside. A good place to check out if youre attending a conference at the nearby convention center.

Makes me sick that they have a photo saying RAPE TRUMP up right now! Shame on you! My daughter ALMOST saw that! I am DISGUSTED!

Lol check out all these maga chuds that are pretending to be outraged over some photograph.

Nice place to see Mexican culture and costumes.

CleanAwsome time

Free very interesting place depending on what is being exhibit.

Take down your RAPE TRUMP artwork if you’re going to admit children into your museum. This is not okay! The parents of the school children moving through your museum are clueless about your awful display!

Beautiful place.

So refined its amazing

Excellent!
