san antonio musueum of art Review

San Antonio Museum is very very informational shown by art the SA Museum of art is history from all over the world

Thoughtful art museum with some unique pieces, and some interesting medium like bone dice, crayon drawings, and shellac dipped kaftans. Lots of school groups were visiting while we were there.

Enjoyed the all of the pieces on display. Especially enjoyed the Egyptian pieces leading into the Roman period. Only had time to view a small section.

Its a nice museum. Ive been here before and even after 10 years everythings the sane which is kinda dull. Besides that my main issue was this one male staff that kept following me and my wife. Was creepy but then again we had our 8 year old kid with us so possibly thinking our kid was gonna knock something down. Be nice if it was more updated with new things and less creepier staff stalking u eveey corner u make.

I only saw all the arts, really liked the different categories of art they have from different country.

Art does my soul good. I was very happy to have the oppertunity to visit this fine establishment. I was highly surprised at their Egyptian and greek department.

Excellent opportunity for students to enjoy art and creating their own art work.

4 floors . Went on one of the free days. Free parking .

Super fun event at the San Antonio Museum of Art with my significant other for a night of love, champagne, chocolates, and live music. The galleries were open for casual, self paced enjoyment of the collection. We also jumped in on a docent guided tour of select pieces elaborating on "love" presented with an interesting twist. Our guide spoke of love from the perspective of artwork depicting the love of chocolate, love of metal, and.the love of a caregiver to name only a few. Very enjoyable evening.

Always a cool exhibit to catch. Guys, great place to bring a date.

Everything displayed here is beautiful and the museum itself is very clean and well-organized. They show on a sketch exactly where they've restored statues and tell the stories behind every piece they can. Staff is very friendly and I was shocked that not more people were here. (I showed up around 1:30 and left right at closing, so that may be why it was so empty.) I absolutely love everything I saw and I will definitely be coming back in the future.

After the Alamo we stopped at this museum. It was amazing!!

I love to go to the museum, love to experience history

SAMA is a gem in the city. It is rich in art and culture. They offer art from various time periods and regions such as Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Asian. There are pieces of art from Europe and Pacific Islands as well as Texan culture and modernist. The staff or shall I say adocents are knowledgeable and very friendly. No photos allowed but definitely a must see on a nice evening. Tuesdays are free to the public which is a nice thing.

This place is huge. I wasn't prepared for SA having such a packed museum. The building itself was ART. Just a beautiful place to explore. Worth the money and you time. Have some food first and walk it off there.

While the European painting are nothing special, the collection of Latio, Native American, and Polynesian art is remarkable. Free on Tuesdays after 4PM, SAMA is well worth the visit. Great museum, even better admission ! Many Greek & Egyptian pieces in their collection. Interesting linear rooms, stacked vertically with a skywalk. Small museum store - wish it was larger. Cafe selections looked good but we did not eat there

I've gone here a couple times and each time I have had an incredible experience

Great place to spend a day. Go on Tueday for free entry. $20.00 for regular admittance is well worth it. Lots to see, staff very friendly and helpful. Free parking right across the street.

Very cool, and larger than i had expected. Also like that they do free days for military.

Excellent place for getting to know about art in the region and more. Very friendly staff and easy accessible.

I wish there was more history of the building. I was impress that it was an old brewery....yet nothing i could find in the building even talked about the old brewery. I Love art museum, but wasn't impress with the selection here.

The staff were really helpful and the art was exquisite

Wonderful museum with lots of historic artifacts and modern art. Loved it, especially the Roman and Japanese artifacts.

Not a huge museum, but has a good collection, with nice arrangement and informational and sometimes amusing annotations. I hope it can keep it this way, in stead of piling up the collections and making an overwheming mess like some of the other museums. Easily to spend half a day in the museum, highly recommend it to families

Way bigger place than we thought! we need to go back to see it all. very cool!

Awesome. You will not be disappointed. Great people working here.

This place looks old from the outside. But inside its super nice. There is so much art and they are always brining new pieces. If your student you get a discount.

I love how there's free admission on Tuesdays 4pm to 9pm

I did not realize how large this museum is! Spent the day at the special exhibit and toured the remaining galleries. The only thing that would have improved the day is for the museum to have a cafe. Will definitely return.

Every first Sunday is free before noon. Usually they have crafts with the kids.

Nice collection of ancient art work, including Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Indian, and Chinese.

This is such a great place to go. I went on a Tuesday night; admission was free and there was live music in the main area. Each floor of the museum offers something different. Allow yourself plenty of time to view everything, there is so much to see and learn about. You won't be disappointed!

Was expecting more Diego. Way liked lady with wavy hair!

Beautiful museum, family friendly, great atmosphere!

Always a great time
Well organized
Many exhibits

Great stuff! Got dragged there by my girlfriend, thought I'd be bored the whole time but you start to really appreciate the old artifacts and paintings... Actually quite Romantic in a way, it was very intimate and quiet and very fun! Don't forget to donate and go by the gift shop...

Amazing museum, really didn t expect this little gem in San Antonio, worth a visit. Varied treasures.

Loved it! Missing the wonderful cafe that used to be there.

This was a very nice art Museum. The Egyptian art collection that I saw in April this year was extraordinary. The museum is nicely laid out and it is convenient to get to - I took the double decker Hop-on Hop-off bus to get there.

The mystical creatures were an interesting addition

It was awesome to see so much history. knowing that theses objects were used 2000 B.C. We had a great time just wandering from room to room..floor to floor..

Huge variety of artwork and sculptures. A bit overwhelming at first due to the many floor levels, but definitely worth a visit. The museum workers are both approachable and knowledgeable. Plan ahead-- there is a ton to see!

YOGA + ART = YOGART
PERFECT

One of the best kept secrets for a nice outing with family or friends is the San Antonio Museum of Art. The artwork and exhibits that comes through this Museum are outstanding. We try to frequent this Museum as often as we can, which is numerous times a year.
Put this on your to-do list when visiting San Antonio!

A first class collection! Requires more than one visit.

Come Sunday morning, admission is free. Nice collection of art and antiquities that spans centuries

Love this place! Always surrounded by beautiful art and history. Easy to navigate and spend the entire day!

This is the perfect indoor option for your out of town friends that need to walls for hours away from the heat. Then I recommend La Gloria or Down on Grayson for lunch nearby.

Excellent presentation and a diverse collection of art. Sundays doing some hours are free. A blue star family museum for military during the summer. Parking is poor though on busy days.

Yea Gilbert your right the guards there are rude

Staff doesn't care if there rude..

I guess u get what u pay for free days equal rude staff...

I guess we both saw the same guy in the new art area rude making faces on his phone and didn't know anything about the artist or the work.

Went their on a rainy day and again for a school project. The Greek, Roman, and Egyptian collections are incredible and the atmosphere and building are wonderful.

My favorite place in San Antonio for sure! The wide selections of art and the way they're neatly displayed by type makes for a great, easy visit. The place is always neat and the grounds are beautiful! The staff has always been very kind and educated, I've never had a problem with them and my service dog, which means a stress free visit! They offer student discounts, and Alamo College students even get in free with their ID, which means I could visit all year for free!
I love this place and I recommend it to anyone!

Great pieces of artwork and picks at your interest in art pieces from all over the world

A must visit while in San Antonio, TX. The staff is friendly. You're able to take as many pictures as you want. The gift shop is nice. And the art is beautiful. I'd definitely recommend this place to friends and family members.
