Beautiful, enlightening exhibit! Today, and also every other time I have visited. COVID protocols are excellent without interfering with your interaction with the art. Many places photos are okay and they will be happy to let you know.

My favorite museum in Austin. Been there many times. This museum will delight anyone - a lover of classics, contemporary art, avant-garde. I come back here constantly for inspiration.

Really enjoyed the museum. All the exhibits were on the second floor and there was a good variety of different styles of Art. We went on a Thursday morning, which is free, and the first reservations were sold out so we got the next at 10:20. There wasn't to many people there so it was easy to social distance. There might have been 1 or 2 other people in the room at the same time, but most of the time we had the room to our selves. I'm used to the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art, so I wasn't too sure what to expect going to a smaller museum like this, but I was happily surprised. We spent about 2 hours there and covered most everything. It's just the right size. I'd go back once they rotate some of the art.

Honestly, this museum has a great variety of art and takes more than an hour to see everything and read the placards. I recommend it vigorously!

I LOVED THIS PLACE! It's about 2/3 contemporary art, and about 1/3 european style art. It's free for UT Austin students, and discounted for all other students, and I'd say it's absolutely worth the price! You need to make reservations so the museum isn't overloaded, but because of that, it's not too full and I definitely felt safe being there (covid wise).

This is a great place for a date. Me and my partner went this weekend and it was a really beautiful experience! From all the art to the color chapel. Truly a beautiful time. Would highly recommend stopping by.
