San Antonio Museum of Art

Although it may not be as large as other art museums, the San Antonio Museum of Art is a cultural gem that's not to be missed. It has top-notch collections of Native American, Spanish colonial and Latin American art, but it's also home to the largest collection of Asian art in Texas, not to mention a respectable grouping of more contemporary pieces. The museum also hosts a variety of special events ranging from film series to children's programs.

Sitting on the northern edge of Downtown San Antonio, the San Antonio Museum of Art is open all day Tuesday through Saturday and on Sunday afternoons. The minimal admission costs vary by age. For more information, check out the museum's website.
