red sculpture in gardens at McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas |
Founded in 1954, the McNay Art Museum was the first contemporary art museum in Texas. Situated within a 24-room repurposed Spanish Colonial Revival-style mansion that sits on 23 landscaped acres featuring expansive lawns with fountains and a Japanese-inspired garden and fishpond, its exterior offerings are almost as interesting as its interior galleries. The museum focuses on 19th- and 20th-century European and American art and has one of the finest collections of contemporary art and sculpture in the Southwest. The new Tobin Exhibition Galleries wing displays the Modern collection. Additionally, the museum’s Tobin Theatre Arts Gallery holds a research library with more than 30,000 volumes, and a theater presents films.
