About

Modern Art Haven

The McNay Art Museum was the first museum of modern art in Texas, founded by heiress and art collector Marion Koogler McNay. It is set within her Spanish Colonial Revival-style mansion, which sits on 23 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds.

Diverse Holdings

The collection spans 19th- and 20th-century European and American art, including works by Picasso, Matisse, O'Keeffe, and Hopper. The museum also boasts a significant collection of theatre arts, medieval and Renaissance art, and glass.

Gardens and Architecture

The museum experience is enhanced by its serene sculpture gardens, Japanese-inspired courtyards, and the stunning architecture of the original home. It is a popular destination for weddings and photography due to its picturesque setting.
