Blanton museum of art Reviews

Really nice museum (under construction so I can't wait to see what's coming) and it's also non expensive.

Great setting on the grounds of U.T. campus plenty of trees for beauty and shade. Parking available across the street at Brazos garage; pay at museum for discounted fee. Free bag check. Museum has eclectic art, from modern, to Central American, to European, and more. Layout inside is a little confusing so it's easy to miss sections. For those with just a general interest in art, the entire experience can be done in an hour.

Wonderful, peaceful experience. Very easy to get lost in (in the best way possible). Thursday's are free admissions so take the whole family and add a little culture to y'all's lives.

This is a gem of a museum located in downtown Austin. I enjoyed my visit to the museum on a quiet Friday afternoon... It offers several galleries of modern art. I think if you enjoy art and viewing a quality collection, you will enjoy a visit to the Blanton. Admission prices are modest, but access is challenging in the construction zone that surrounds the building currently.

It s a very small museum! It feels a little cozy compared to bigger museums like the DMA. It s on campus in west campus so it s within walking distance to the actual campus. It has different sections but it has a separate exhibit with cool colored tiles that glows different colors (according to the stained glass) when it s bright outside. I went today and it was raining outside so the light reflected off the glasses wasn t at its full potential but it was still really pretty! The pieces are selective! If you park at brazos and pay for parking inside its only $4 and it lasts all day! Admission for UT students is free but if you re a student from a different university be sure to bring your ID so admission is $5.

A solid collection that will give one a perspective on the visual art history, techniques, and ideas. Special appreciation for the chapel.

Excellent modern art collections! Also heartened to see the many pieces by women artists! "Austin" installation was amazing! Also enjoyed the history and images from the "Black is Beautiful" special exhibit.

A fabulous art collection that had a wonderful mix of classics and contemporary pieces. Spent about 1.5 hours here but could've taken longer. It was a lovely break from the Texas heat and the staff was very friendly/knowledgeable if we had any questions. I will definitely be back to visit again and would absolutely recommend it to Austin locals and tourists alike. There's definitely a little something for everyone here!

We really enjoyed this despite not being huge art connoisseurs. We all found pieces we appreciated and some that were confounding; I think the museum has something for every taste and also exposes you to styles you normally wouldn t look at. Do park at the Brazos garage for easier access during construction and $4 parking which they validate at admissions.
Picture included is of the Ellsworth Kelly s Austin, which is included in admissions and is quite beautiful on the inside.
