I had an educational experience I do highly recommend you visit. It was a wonderful delight the staff was so friendly and had the greatest knowledge and hospitality. Melissa and Camille were so helpful. They had the greatest smiles and were so quick to answer questions. The staff as you check in were also friendly I felt like I was at home I will be back to visit again soon. There was so much to see in so little time. Thank you Alamo College’s Honor Society Ms. Coleman and Ms. Norma for setting up this wonderful opportunity.
This museum is astonishing! It features not only ancient artifacts but also a wide range of art from present-day contemporary to 1800s historical works. It has multicultural sections and is very easy to navigate. Just to make sure, they even provide maps. One of the cool features is the glass Skywalker bridge at the top of the building. It's very reasonably priced, and they even do military rates for those who are or have served. It's easy to pass 3 to 4 hours in this place if you're really into the stories behind the pieces.
I will say this place is rather small for the cost of what it is. Usual MAs are around the same price but twice the size. That aside, this is really well maintained. Not too many rotating exhibits coming twice in two years there was nothing new to see.
Nice museum with collections from all over the world. The Latin American exhibit is under construction but there is still plenty to see! Adults were $22. We spent about 3 hours here!
My partner and I spent a day in San Antonio just to visit the museums and we were not disappointed. The selection of pieces that were put on display were breathtaking and so beautiful. I loved the works in the Latin American galleries and I was amazed at the amount of pieces that were in the Catholic section. I really love the diverse art within the museum and how it was all organized. My partner and I were given complimentary admission since I’m a museum worker (which was amazing), but I believe this museum is worth every penny. I definitely recommend this museum to anyone who is looking for beautiful art.
Such a huge museum, it just keeps going with so much to see. My family and I enjoyed all of the exhibits, we went on locals day on Sunday and wasn't too busy. I would recommend for free family fun, my son is 6 and didn't get too bored but was ready after an hour and a half to leave.
This museum is amazing. I haven’t been in many years but visited recently to check out the armor exhibit (available until May 12). After the armor exhibit (very cool btw), we wandered through the other exhibits. They have an amazingly cool variety of art to explore. The building itself is also cool, it used to be a brewery and has a lot of history.
My husband and I visited on Tuesday because bexar county residents get in free from 4-7. The parking lot was right across the street and parking was $7. There were so many beautiful pieces to see and the new exhibit of knights and the armor they wore was spectacular. I really admired all the intricate details that were on each piece. To see how armor has changed through the ages was fascinating. I love art and my husband who isn't enjoyed seeing the work that goes into each piece. We enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back again.
