The Contemporary Austin, Art museum in downtown Austin, United States.
The Contemporary Austin presents modern art across two distinct locations: the Jones Center in downtown and Laguna Gloria on Lake Austin's shores.
The museum's foundation began with Clara Driscoll's land donation in 1916, leading to its establishment in 1911 and official opening in 1961.
The institution organizes between four and six exhibitions annually, featuring works from national and international artists in its 8,000-square-foot exhibition space.
The Jones Center location provides regular guided tours, educational programs, and specialized activities for families with children through Action Pack activity kits.
The Laguna Gloria location contains an outdoor sculpture park where visitors can explore installations spread across natural landscapes near the water.
