Laguna Gloria is a Mediterranean-style lakeside villa built in 1916. It now serves as a branch of The Contemporary Austin. Its 14-acre grounds display contemporary sculptures and installations, and a path along the lake offers views of Lake Austin. Admission costs about 10 dollars, and there are often free hours on Tuesdays. It can be combined with Mount Bonnell and Mayfield Park for a half-day tour of west Austin.
