San Antonio Museum of Art

The San Antonio Museum of Art holds the title as one of the largest museums in the Southwest. This expansive museum is housed in buildings of the Lone Star Brewery and maintains its factory feel with skywalks and glass elevators. Collections include Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities as well as Asian art, 18th, 19th and 20th century American works.

In recent years the museum opened the three-story Rockefeller Center for Latin American Art, considered one of the nation's best collections of Latin art. Located on the east side of the museum, the center begins with an educational center with computer stations to offer instruction about Latin American culture and history. Exhibits portray the long history of Latin American art starting with the Pre-Classic Period in 2000 BC and continuing through the Magical Realism Movement of recent decades.

The center plans special events and educational programs throughout the year.

Location: 200 W. Jones Ave.
