El Paso Museum of Art, Art museum in El Paso, United States
The El Paso Museum of Art houses American, Mexican, and contemporary works across multiple exhibition galleries in its downtown location. The building contains paintings, sculptures, and decorative pieces displayed in well-lit spaces designed for viewing art from different periods and traditions.
The museum opened in 1959 and relocated to its current downtown building in 1998. This move allowed for expanded exhibition space and improved conditions for displaying the growing collection.
The museum displays works by artists from Mexico and the American Southwest, reflecting the shared creative traditions of this border region. Visitors experience how artistic styles from both sides have influenced each other over time.
The museum is located downtown at 1 Arts Festival Plaza and offers free admission to all visitors. It is open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursdays to accommodate different schedules.
The Samuel H. Kress collection contains 57 Renaissance and Baroque paintings, making this one of the few major repositories of European art in the Southwest region. This collection is rarely found outside major East Coast museums and attracts scholars and collectors from around the world.
