McNay Art Museum
Texas's first modern art museum, housed in a Spanish Colonial Revival mansion with works by Van Gogh, Picasso and Hopper.
The McNay Art Museum was originally the private home of collector Marion Koogler McNay and opened to the public in 1954. It displays modern European and American art from the 19th and 20th centuries, including works by Van Gogh, Cézanne, Picasso, O'Keeffe and Hopper, along with a large collection of theatre design. The mansion's courtyard and sculpture garden are just as lovely. Admission is about 20 US dollars, and it is closed on Mondays. It is in the north of the city, about a 15 minute taxi ride away.
