About

Western Heritage

The Briscoe Western Art Museum captures the art, history, and culture of the American West. Housed in the historic 1930s San Antonio Public Library building, the museum sits beautifully along the San Antonio River Walk.

Diverse Collection

The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and artifacts that tell the stories of cowboys, Native Americans, and the rugged frontier. Highlights include Pancho Villa's saddle and a diorama of the Battle of the Alamo.

Sculpture Garden

The museum grounds feature the McNutt Sculpture Garden, an outdoor oasis displaying bronze sculptures of western figures. It serves as a tranquil space for reflection and appreciation of the artistic legacy of the West.
