Briscoe Western Art Museum

The Briscoe Western Art Museum is an art museum on the River Walk that displays paintings, sculptures, and artifacts from the American West. The collection spans from the 1800s to today and includes works in various styles and materials.

The museum opened in 2013 inside a converted historic library building that was adapted for exhibition space. The structure maintains its original architectural character while serving its new purpose.

The collection displays works by artists exploring frontier life and western settlement from different viewpoints. Visitors encounter how these perspectives shape the way people understand and remember the American West today.

The museum is easy to navigate with clear paths through galleries and signage to the outdoor sculpture garden. Plan your visit to explore both indoor and outdoor spaces depending on how much time you have.

The outdoor sculpture garden features large bronze figures depicting cowboys, Native Americans, and wildlife. These works create a memorable scene as they stand against the backdrop of the San Antonio River.
