Large galleries with a variety of art and sculptures. There is an exceptional art glass exhibit which I personally found stunning. Yes you can take pictures but make sure your flash is OFF! Most of the staff are friendly but beware of pointing too closely at the artwork or you may get barked at! Overall it was well worth my twenty bucks and the small gift shop had some witty and fun items!

This is certainly a Texas treasure....and should be known nationally. Amazing facility, a Spanish Colonial mansion at the top of the genre. The contemporary additions stand in a wonderful opposition to the old. Love it. The art collection is familiar yet filled with the little surprise. This is a must see.

This art museum is awesome I delivered a trailer full of plants from Arizona theyre giving the grounds a big faced lift it was already beautiful but now it will be spectacular thanks to me bringing in plants LOL

This museum is captivating. I loved how I felt like I wasnt sure what I was going to be seeing next. Every turn brought surprises and beauty. There were various pieces of art on display, but the architecture of the building is also a sight to behold. I spent an hour or so sketching in the garden area - it was very peaceful and beautiful. The staff was super helpful and friendly, asking for direct feedback and discussing different pieces with me. I will definitely visit here again, especially for the Tim Burton exhibit in Fall 2020!

Not crowded. Excellent covid protocol. Clean. Plenty of parking.

Absolutely beautiful museum right in the heart of the city. Great, central location, free parking (Free Admission on certain days) and beautiful grounds. Definitely worth a visit for any art enthusiast!

My high school daughter was thrilled to find out that San Antonio and the McNay Museum was the home of Delfina Flores, Diego Riveras sweetest masterpiece. We saw on the McNay website that an entire room/wing is dedicated to Delfina. Although during Covid-19, my daughter begged for us to go same day and off we went. We found the Delfina Flores room and she was not there! We asked where she was and a helpful docent walky-talkied the manager for us who instructed her to direct what was now a group of 7 disappointed visitors all the way back to the entrance and ask for her. We were hopeful this manager would direct us to Delfina in a special wing and were willing to pay any extra cost. Instead, a very unkind, arrogant woman informed us all that Delfina Flores was put away, she didnt know when she would be put on display again, and that it was not her decision. She haughtily told each group this. She liked making it sound like decisions were up to her. Maybe she should decide to not waste visitors time and just have the docents break the bad news so we dont have to waste a Sunday with my daughter being sneered at and told off by a miserable, unprofessional manager. Wish we could get our $30 back! Wish they would notify visitors on their website. Wish they would get a better manager.

I loved coming here over the years. Always something to see. The grounds were well taken care of and the staff were always nice.

The staff was so knowledgeable and seemed genuinely excited to tell us all about the museum.

The McNay is a delightful local art museum with a choice of great artifacts from all kinds of heritages and eras but still somehow quite coherent. The building is also attractive in itself. Loved the sign Please do not pet the sculpture - almost a work of art in itself. A great place to spend some time in San Antonio.

We have been visiting this museum since 2011, and we will keep going.They are practicing great cleaning and social distancing rules.For his 16th birthday, our son asked to go here. Our job is done

We went on a Thursday night from 4-9pm courtesy of H-E-B. It was really fun and relaxing. We pushed our 1-year old daughter around in the stroller and also took her out to walk a bit through the halls and in the beautiful garden. The museum is staffed with excellent employees who were all willing to help us navigate and were certainly knowledgeable.

Wonderful museum, well have to deffinatley come back to view the rest of the floors and wings vast amounts of art.

This is a wonderful place to go to see the history of Texas. It is very interesting and the museum staff are very nice.

Ive been going to the McNay all my life and every time its the most magical experience. Cant wait to go again for the next new exhibit!!!

Become a member to one of San Antonios best art museums. Exhibits change throughout the year!

Wow, now this was a great way to spend a Sunday. McNay Art Museum opens at noon, and 1st Sunday in the month is free. Parking is free. Really enjoyed the exhibits, the exhibits were well presented. There was handicapped accessibility, to all the exhibit rooms. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. My family and I had a great time.

Art Deco - Art Nouveau - American Dreams - Impressionism - Kanye West - Warhol - Picasso - Van Gogh - Toulouse Lautrec - Gauguin - Kirchner - Cèzanne - Matisse - LichtensteinThe McNay Museum is charming and full of surprises. Amazing history, fantastic collection, and spectacular architecture. The center courtyard is breathtaking.

It was a beautiful museum I will definitely be back!

I’m a lover of art museums, and this one was absolutely stunning. So many unexpected areas to explore. So many big name artists I didn’t expect to see! I loved everything from the architecture to the staff to the paintings to the gift shop. All around a wonderful experience

There is a little construction going on right now so follow the detour signs. I love this museum, it was a private mansion and the cultural architecture is beautiful. There is always a highlight exhibit along with classics. Never disappoints

My daughter and I both enjoyed the museum. It was so big we didnt have enough time to visit the entire museum. I love that they still have FREE ADMISSION on THURSDAYS from 4p-8p. Only $10 more for the exhibit of the month. Nice architecture and I also love that with most pics and statues they have a special number to call where an narrator will tell you all about the display!. We will definitely be returning again soon.

Expensive for a museum in San Antonio, $20 per adult, and it leans heavily to Modern art. If thats not your cup of tea, I wouldnt recommend this particular museum.

Beautiful outside and inside! The permanent exhibitions are great, with very nice pieces of art. Also a good (and common) place for photoshoots in San Antonio. Staff is friendly and happy to help. Overall a nice museum in South Texas.

Exhibit of the litographs of the Three greats of Mexico very impressive and Selena photo shoot was very nice. Enjoy a nice afternoon at the museum

This place was so abstract and beautiful I wasnt able to take much pics but I promise you will enjoy this place its free on Thursdays unless they changed it. But my family had a great time exploring. There was even a hand on sequence canvas to make yur own art my kids loved that.

Far and away my favorite at museum!If you adore old European art, with photo-realistic paintings of religious depictions - THIS IS NOT YOUR MUSEUM! But if, like me, you cherish modern art, youre in for a treat!This is the finest museum of its kind in Texas, and one of the best in America. Visit it!

My favorite local museum...the others are great but the warmth and charm of this classic institution is forever alluring... This was once someones home... Built in the 1920s by artist and educator Marion Koogler McNay, the Spanish Colonial Revival residence became the site of Texas’s first museum of modern art when it opened in 1954....Later adding a modern addition...Overall housing works by masters including Gauguin, Van Gogh, Hopper (my favorite), Mitchell, Neel, O’Keeffe, Picasso, Pollock, and Renoir to name a few. The 23 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds include sculptures by Indiana, Jiménez, Rickey, Shapiro, and Smith....make a day of it to spend some quality time soaking in the magic and beauty of art!

Absolute stunning! From Van Gogh to Monet, from impressionism, cubism, and dadaism you can go further. Limits of perception are not reduced to arts as visuality or painting, here you can enjoy every part.

Totally a hidden gem, thank you Ms. McNay for sharing this place and creating a great space for modern arts to flourish. The house the exhibitions are a total inspiration and very relaxing. Its a must see for any art lover.

Half of the museum was closed. Its not worth paying $20.00. You can visit the Louvre in Paris for less. If youre visiting San Antonio, I would recommend the Museum of Art.

My favorite museum! Its bigger then anyone would have imagined. It has some wonderful Art work, a great gift shop, and a wonderful landscape to sit back and relax.

Rather good collection of very different art: from academism to contemporary art. The building itself and a surrounding garden is an art piece itself

Had such a pleasant Sunday strolling through this museum. It was a free Sunday, paid $10 bucks to see the Andy Warhol: Portraits exhibition. Original fees are 20 bucks for adults, 19 and under are free! The idea of strolling though this beautiful historic mansion AND enjoying master art is a must for those that need a break from life...or a little inspiration. I sat outside in the patio for a while, then by the fountain in a little wooden pergola and left as a 5pm wedding was about to begin. (They close at 5 on Sundays.) Parking was pretty easy(and free) although I can see how it can maybe get packed...and it was a bit difficult to find..(well, not really, its on New Braunfels St., but there really isnt a sign on that street telling you where the entrance is. I missed it and had to go back around. I found it that second time.). There is a cafe inside....but I didnt check it out. There are plenty of eateries around though... Cant wait to go back.

Love this place. An ideal place to spend the afternoon. The place opens until 9pm? So you can always visit after work. The HEB). They often have special events every other week. :)

The art collection is great. The grounds are undergoing an expansion at the moment, but entire complex is beautiful, especially the house.

I have always loved going to the McNay...however I was disappointed by the fact that the second floor was closed. Also they should really update their website to inform you if the construction going on..the whole front entrance was closed...no detour signs and the it was a bit confusing on how to actually get onto the property.

The setting here is beautiful. The permanent collection partially rotates from time to time and consists of many artists we could all name from classical to modern. They are always exhibiting something new and exciting from cars to Warhol. I love the after hours docent events and always learn something. The Mary Cassatt painting temporarily on loan from the Met by exchange was beautiful and fascinating! The McNay is first rate.

Its a museum with an interesting history and place for learning. I wanted to see the van Gogh paintings in person, unfortunately the curators mentioned that they are likely on a rotation with other museums. Tough luck, but when I travel elsewhere. Good to do you research on availability of specific paintings. After I was home I checked and their website did state its not on display/ view, so I learnt something as a novice

The McNay Art Museum is magical!As an artist this is the best way I can describe the place.

A hidden gem in San Antonio. Essentially, a beautiful old hacienda in the Alamo Heights neighborhood of San Antonio that is full of room after room of wonderful and diverse art. The house and grounds alone are worth the trip.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here. They invited me for a special Wednesday. Amazing the programs that they have throughout the week. Staff super friendly, specially Rosemary and her interns, and very educational about art and culture. You can join a group on Wednesdays for adults. Love it! Definitely I will coming back.

Absolutely beautiful and worth going to anybody 19 and under actually get in for free which is amazing !!!and its I think believe its $10 cover for anyone above that I took my little brother because he simply loves art and it was a wonderful experience and he loved it and I loved it it is kind of place you need to be quiet its very quiet in there but its very peaceful.You can go outside to and explore theyre big sculptures! You may see people taking maternity photos and wedding shots! So cute!

This place is wonderful!! I was looking for indoor active for Sunday afternoon. The group was use the hot temperature outside. Admission was free since it was first Sunday of the month. It was a plus if you are on a budget for trip.The art was wonderful. The house is fantastic. It is amazing how much art is in San Antonio. There is such a mixture of it in this building. Grounds are beautiful. Wish it wasnt so hot. Only negative info is staff. A lot the younger staff did not know how to answer our questions. We had to look for older staff for help. I wish someone told us about the renting listening device. It would of been helping.

Great visit, sry I couldnt take Picasso home with me. Nice souvenir shop.

Amazing collections and the staff are so welcoming. Took my girls there and they had a blast.

The collection is outstanding and has pieces to offer for any possible tasted in art. You can wander in and spend anywhere from a few minutes briefly glimpsing at them, to sauntering and staring all day. Its free Thursdays from 4 to 9 in the evening. Warning: dont try to eat a candy cane in the building itself; they will reprimand you and demand that you immediately dispose of it.

Its lovely grounds are well taken care of, and the museum is filled with beautiful amazing art.

What a pleasant place! Loved the family time and the serenity of the landscape.

Beautiful venue! Such great art.

Breathtaking, beautiful property and interactive art. Their collection of pieces and eras as well as artists is vast, and something to appease any art lovers interests. Thursday is HEB family night so also take the opportunity to enjoy free exhibits for the whole family. They do accept donations so please help contribute for the future generations.

Exceeded my expectations. Will return when they fully reopen.

Went during their Free HEB Thursday night with my girlfriend and it was great! There was food and music outside with a family friendly atmosphere but also nice and quiet to spend time with your significant other or to just check out some art on your own. Although we didnt have time to visit the sculpture garden, there was a good amount of paintings (including some from Picasso and van Gogh) and sculptures inside. Parking does fill up quickly so get there a bit early. Definitely plan on going back!

Have been going since I was really little, absolutely love the atmosphere and all the pieces and exhibits that rotate in and out

The landscaping will be a wonderful upgrade to an already family friendly campus

Beutifull gardens and fountains. Kids seem to love it. Rotation of art every couple of months new exhibits and free Thursdays will keep you visiting. Free parking

A great modern museum. The first modern museum in Texas. Awesome art. Great staff. Construction is bad but will be overcome. Family friendly and lots to see especially 2nd Thursday. All in all great place

I am so grateful for our local HEB grocery store for sponsoring McNay Art Museum on Thursdays! I get to take all of my family, visitors, co workers and anyone who I can take for FREE on Thursday. Not sure if HEB didnt sponsor McNay Thursday, if I would be able to afford as many tickets to the museum. Every time I go to the museum I appreciate it even more. Even the gift shop is a pleasure to visit.

Half of the exhibits were closed, construction was a nightmare, the people at the desk were rude and had nothing to do so they spent their time following us around. It was really creepy.

Totally smitten with architecture of the original McNay mansion. Decent collection of medieval, Renaissance and modern artwork.

Great service and great prices

Beautiful building and a wonderful collection. Always a great visit

Came here for my girlfriends birthday, we both enjoyed the visit. I truly have no appreciation for the more recent works of “art” they had exhibited there, but the museum/location itself is a beautiful place. The courtyard is very well kept, with lots of details to observe. The exterior grounds are also a nice place to stroll around, and take it all in. They asked us if we were students (we both are) and gave us the discount without showing ID’s, and that brought the total down to $30 for our admission; so that was nice.The staff does kinda hover around, I assume to make sure you don’t touch anything. They just do it in such an uncomfortable way, like passive aggressive night club bouncers- just some smiles would’ve made all the difference. An older lady with dyed red hair on the second floor, said hello as we walked by, then proceeded to give a short history of the sculpture my sweetheart was admiring; that was great.

Parking needs improvement because it is a tight spot. Other than the parking, it is an awesome place to get engaged in art and architecture as well with photography. There are many showcases at this museum that can be fun and interesting to learn. I certainly love the library. One spot to visit inside the museum is the garden. Either its raining, its cold, or hot; any kind of weather fits the outside garden and its lovely.

Very Impressed! Loved every single exhibition!

Beautiful museum! The grounds and the building itself are worth the visit. I was impressed at the selection of art and rich history of the grounds.I also have to give props to the museum itself, which hosts tons of fun family and fitness-oriented activities year round. Thank you for being a wonderful part of the San Antonio community!

Beautiful grounds and building and the calibre of the art on display is inspiring and uplifting.

I love the different events and variety of exposition during the year. Thank you for supporting local artist/musicians.

The collection is interesting but the most impressive part of this museum is the estate, itself. The layout of the rooms is a bit confusing since youre really navigating a house that wasnt built to flow like a gallery. I think theyd do well to revamp their map (Im worried I missed a room or two). All in all, beautiful space with a few wonderful pieces. Im happy I went and Ill come again for the new exhibitions.

Great place especially for artists. Great art pieces. A little pricey entry. Best time go on Thursday after 4pm...

The variety of exhibits here is astounding! It’s cool to see impressionist art in the same building that houses modern art and sculptures as well! I enjoyed the exhibit so much that I decided to become a member. Looking forward to the next exhibit.

I really like the history of this museum. My wife and I were just a bit disappointed with the Special Fashion Exhibit. We expected way more than there was. Lots of space and the items on display were really spaced apart to fill in the large room. The museum is really nice though.

Love going on the HEB sponsored free Thursday visits. Just wander around and get lost with a friend

Great villa with lots of Art work and beautiful sculptures park .easy parking.

Such a great place to visit for art and photos.

Loved our visit! It was out of the way from where we staying downtown, but I loved their special exhibit on Chicano art. They had some beautiful pieces in their permanent exhibits, including Diego Rivera and Picasso. The piece titled Strange Fruit 9 (I think thats what it was called) was eeriely beautiful and powerful. I appreciated the QR code that led to more information and added multimedia layer.

Beautiful museum. The Selena exhibit is well thought out and has some of my favorite photos. Excellent job Lyle!! I missed you Saturday when I was there! ️️️

Wonderful place! Always new art and the courtyard is simply gorgeous. A must see for people visiting San Antonio or a native!

Beautiful place to take professional pictures

How can you not live McNay? I dont even know what to say here. The outside is landscaped beautifully and compliments the beauty inside of the art and architecture. Not really a place for kids but not everything has to be.

My favourite art museum, the guide make me change my point of view about the contemporary art. And the Van Gogh’s paint it’s my favourite paint! and of course that paint is there!Love it!

Its a really good place to go and just spend time looking at all the art work she collected. They have a small sitting area where you can hear about her life. The garden is absolutely beautiful and very relaxing. I really loved the fish pond and the feel of being in an old Mexico home.

We adore the McNay! Everything about the museum is wonderful -but my favorite thing about it is the unique flow of the art from room to room. Don’t hesitate to ask the staff about a piece, they are so kind, smart and fun to chat with. You will find some really incredible pieces here and you will be blow away by the beauty of the grounds.

Went specifically to see the Transamerica/n exhibit on the free general admissions night, which meant our tickets were only $10 each for the highlighted exhibits. The exhibit was incredibly inclusive and exactly what I had been hoping for, with the infeasible Nicki Lucio doing live performance self portrait art. She spoke to us for a good amount of time about herself, her work and her experiences and it was by far one of the most valuable experiences of my life so far. I would suggest the McNay definitely take advantage of any other artist interested in doing performance art or live painting as a part of their pieces.

Beautiful museum and lots of great art.

I love the permanent works but as of lately the special exhibits have failed horribly in my opinion. There is an agenda that seems very one sided in nature. The last exhibit I was taken back by was for black history month. It was an amazing exhibit. What Im really waiting for is an exhibit that had as much power as Beauty Reigns. I still find myself paying the extra amount to see the special exhibits and find myself everything but. Despite my dislikes pertaining to portions of the Mcnay this is by far my favorite still. Its worth the general admission for sure.

We went just for the Immersed exhibit this summer. From the hands-on parts of it, to Yayoi Kusamas quiet and stunning lanterns, we took everything in... and loved it! Stayed way longer than I planned, because I couldnt get my son and his best friend away from Philip Worthingtons interactive and silly screen. SO recommend going!!!!

McNay always has a wonderful collection. Its curated well, and always has interesting temporary exhibitions too. Gardens and courtyards are also lovely.

We love the McNay! Art, yes - always changing. Discount days, love it. The grounds are great for a casual stroll, enjoy the koi pond and sculptures throughout the grounds or just the serenity of manicured gardens around a beautiful mansion.We love shooting bridal and engagement photos here...such a great deal if you just want to shoot the grounds, but don’t let the interior pricing scare you, gorgeous and worth every penny!

I attended a wonderful concert at the indoor theater at the McNay. Afterwards I walked among the McNay collection admiring artwork of some of the worlds greatest artists.

This museum is under established! There are a lot of great collections!

Thursday’s are FREE!! Right now they have the Immerse program which is really awesome. Highly recommend checking them out at least once if you’re in the area.

Beautiful grounds and structure. We especially like the Tobin Theater Arts wing. Exhibits change often enough to keep it fresh.

Upstairs is amazing! The older pieces are all upstairs. The artwork is breathtaking but the building and grounds are beautiful all on their own. Worth the trip!

A wide and diverse range of artist are exhibited here. Well worth a visit. The building and grounds are stunning by themselves.

Went with my grandparents which was a surprise as we dont go out much but we all had an awesome time just looking around and seeing all the beautiful genres of projects and pieces. Very pretty scenery and family friendly with some mature pieces scattered around.

I can easily spend all day here. Check out Larry Mills Silver Spur Camero.

Such a beautiful place with intriguing history. The art was interesting & thought-provoking. It was our first visit & it was Second Thursday, so the atmosphere was fun with live music, drink stands, & food trucks.

The Spanish Colonial Revival home that houses the main permanent collections are amazing! Manet, Monet, Picasso, and Renoir. My favorite part was the courtyard situated in the middle of the property. Balconies, fountain, fireplace, iron gates, palm trees, gardens, paths, statues. Truly a beautiful space. Free on Thursday 4-9pm. Beautiful grounds and outdoor statue gardens. A must visit for art lovers.

There was an exhibition of Monet to Matisse that I wanted to see. Can go throigh the whole musuem slowly in 2 hours. Great areas to explore outside too
