San Antonio is known as "Where the West Begins." This theme is fully explored at the Briscoe Western Art Museum. Texas cowboys, pioneer wagon drivers, and generations of indigenous Native Americans come together through a rich collection of sculptures, paintings, and artifacts, bringing to life the culturally diverse era of the past. San Antonio is home to many excellent museums, each with its own unique themes and exhibitions. Ruby City Art Gallery focuses on contemporary art, while the San Antonio Museum of Art boasts 30,000 pieces, including a significant collection of Chinese and Asian cultural artifacts. Of course, there’s no shortage of local Texas art. The Witte Museum, with its focus on nature and science, is a favorite for family visitors. #Lifestyle #SanAntonio #Museums #ArtAndCulture #Travel

A serendipitous encounter. I’m so glad that I visited while I was in San Antonio. The collection is absolutely first class: Teresita Fernández, Marina Abramović, Rachel Whiteread, Do Ho Suh, and many more – the place was like a key that opened the gate of my memory, objects and moments I was so fond of kept flooding out. What’s equally impressive is the staff there: every one was knowledgeable about the artworks and actively engaged the visitors with interpretations and stories about the works.

This art museum is free with an appointment. You can park free on Camp Street or in the designated parking lot at 1203 S Flores St. As of October 2022 masks are required inside. The modern art is primarily on the second floor, which you can take the stairs or elevator to. Behind the building is the sculpture garden. Across the road is Chris Park which is a lovely small park. At the end of Park is a small studio with more art. The whole experience was lovely and really fun.

I was visiting from Austin and wanted to check out some art! I came across Ruby City and made an appointment online with ease. The outside of the structure is beautiful in itself and is a very striking red, like something you'd see on Mars. The staff was very friendly and there was a wide variety of different mediums on display. The studio across the street was probably my favorite. I will definitely have to visit again. Thank you for making art accessible to everyone.

As you approach the red building you notice the amazing architecture. The backyard has a small garden and sculpture. The garden is loaded with butterflies. The sculpture is of scraped aircraft parts and looks like it is floating in space. Inside the staff are friendly, informative, and helpful. Exhibits are wonderful and thought provoking. Place is clean and very well maintained. The experience was super. Note to visit is always free.
