Truly incredible to see such a well preserved home and collection of art work. Well worth stopping in. Completely free also.

Small, but impressive museum in Central Austin. I've driven past this museum hundreds of times and never noticed this mini-castle that's a block off of 45th street. If you're curious about Austin/Texas history, this museum is worth checking out. The architecture of the building is pretty cool see. Inside there's various sculptures of famous European and Texas figures.

Great small museum for visit even if you are not the sculptures expert, you can enjoy the story of this wonderful talented woman and her husband, loved the interior and atmosphere, you will have a list with names of presented sculptures. Absolutely recommended if you are in Austin, no cost, not crowded, located in green zone.

Wow, this place is a gem among gems! We were met by an extremely helpful curator who gave us a history of the museum. The building is stunning and you simply must experience the charm of being surrounded by the sculptures. A must see in Austin!

Very unusual collection of Ney's sculpture art work and family history. There isn't an admission fee but donations are encouraged.

A small historical and natural museum close to downtown.
Being in Austin, I wasnt aware of this place for a quite long time.
Visited for an Art exhibition. The sculptures were arranged and decorated with lot of efforts as you can see from pictures.
The place is well preserved from the old times including the staircases. The chair at the lawn and garden was very peaceful.
Checkout the timing in the Facebook page for any special events.

We loved this place. I love seeing old architecture in a place you wouldn't expect. There are many sculptures and paintings to see. There is also an upstairs to visit inside. Be aware that the stairs are narrow. Also outside is great for filming and taking pictures. The staff was very helpful.

We never knew this was here ! We all enjoyed it!
My husband found this place on a post from Instagram. We went to visit with our kids. We all didn’t know much about Elisabet Ney but after our visit we all learned something new. They provide a booklet of very informative information for you to read along the way. It also goes by numbers so you know what your reading on. I highly recommend and don’t forget to go upstairs
