Beautiful place right on the coast, the museum also has a restaurant. It houses some very unusual art pieces, it does not take very long to get through!

Stumbled upon this when (one of few) walking along the esplanade in the heat. What a great surprise ! Air conditioning waa cool, but so was the artwork !
We also surprised to have bonus of free entry, but have a feeling that may only have been case for September - not sure, so worth checking

Visited the museum on a few occasions and it was always a good experience. The staff are nice and there have been several nice pieces displayed here. It’s also a great place to host events.

There are at least three parking lots nearby you can use, which makes it very convenient for visitors, especially on busier days.

loved the atmosphere of the art museum, the lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful. We saw the "Cheech" latin American art exhibit and the blown glass art had amazing detail. The only downside was the other building was under renovation so there were no exhibits up at the time. Can't wait to return and view another beautiful traveling art on display.

The entire walk through was over an hour and I could’ve stayed there even longer just taking in all of the art & its meaning. Went on the first Friday of the month & didn’t pay to enter! Had so much fun & really enjoyed all of the rooms, especially the Native American tributes. Even got to sit outside and see the Lexington & Texas State Aquarian + saw some dolphins swimming (ALL FOR FREE!)

This is our second trip back and it is always a good stop. They were showing school art from he area that is well worth a visit. They have a nice gift shop for those that want more information about art and supplies for kids and adults.
Pictures are of blow ups from artists from the US and one from Canada.

Our family very much enjoyed the museum. The inflatables exhibit was fun to see. We didn't realize there was an on-site restaurant so we didn't eat there but the view from the restaurant was nice. The museum was undergoing some renovations, so part of the 2nd floor exhibits were closed. The lower level with the hands-on exhibits was also closed during our visit for spring break camps. We will go back another time to see those (and plan for lunch at the restaurant).

The Art Museum of South Texas was a very enjoyable experience! My only suggestion is that when using the map there are certain galleries that appear to have names, but unfortunately in the museum itself a lot of those galleries were not clearly labeled which made navigating with the map confusing at first. Once I got my bearings I was able to discern where I was and was a bit underwhelmed by several galleries that were empty and a lot of art work was covered with plastic for protection against window dusting. Either way, the museum was enjoyable and presented some very thought invoking pieces of art. The art by the kids was probably amongst the best displays. A lot of future talent on the horizon! Once they finish cleaning up and fill the empty galleries I would love to revisit.
