The San Antonio Museum is committed to collecting, preserving, and interpreting fine works of art, and there's no better place in the city to get your creative juices flowing. Wander through the galleries and gaze at paintings by Renaissance masters, or admire exquisite examples of 18th-century Wedgewood stoneware. The Asian art collection includes impossibly intricate 15th-century Vietnamese sculptures, while the museum's contemporary collection features avant garde pieces like Ivan Navarro's neon-lit interpretation of an electric chair.
It's easy to spend a full day trying to see everything at the museum, so make sure you allow plenty of time for your visit so you don't feel rushed. In addition to being accessible by car, the museum is a B-cycle station, and you can use your visit as an opportunity to get some exercise. Alternatively, you can arrive by river taxi and enjoy the breeze and open air.
