Attraction Information:

Built by artist and educator Marion Koogler McNay in the 1920s, the Spanish Colonial Revival-style home opened as the first museum of modern art in Texas in 1954. Today visitors are captivated by magnificent works of art by modern masters including Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. A vital partner in arts education, the McNay annually serves over 45,000 adults, teachers, students and families with a variety of art education programs and educational resources, including a fine arts reference library and interpretive information about art in the museum's collection and exhibitions. With the recent integration of the Jane and Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions designed by French architect Jean-Paul Viguier, the McNay now offers an additional 45,000 square feet to dislay the museum's extensive collections. The new extension offers a sculpture garden and a revolutionary, multi-layered glass roof which filters natural light into the exhibition space allowing art to be viewed in different illumination.
