The Museum of Western Art - Kerrville, Texas

Chris S.

This is a fantastic museum highlighting western art. The docent was really informative with details about the building itself being a work of art. Focus on the interior domes and end-cut wood tile flooring, as well as the exterior grounds. There are many bronze statues depicting western themes as well as many paintings from different artists in a variety of styles. This is a must visit location if you find yourself in Kerrville, Texas before 4pm on a weekday or Saturday. Unfortunately the museum is closed on Sunday. If you live in Kerrville and you have not yet been to this museum… put it on your list immediately.

Visited during Spring Break as a group of 6, including 2 boys aged 4-6. Easy to find and free car parking near the entrance. Finding the parking area wasn’t clear, but we got there. The front entrance has a cool walls of cow bells that you could hit to make sound. We ain’t have to wait to get in - the place was quiet and we basically had the run of it. The staff were all friendly and after we paid to enter we were given a 1-3 minute welcome presentation and then could go diff to explore. There were a few big rooms full of paintings, sculptures, display saddles, some cases with pistols and Derringers under glass. There was even a room in the back aimed towards kids - it had a full-sized wagon, a large tent, and dress-up outfits. Our boys dressed up like cowboys and spent the whole time looking in the crates at the plastic food and equipment that the old-timers used to lug around on their frontier journeys. The boys were satisfied. There’s a great variety of art and they all evoked the spirit of the West. One thing I’d have liked to see was labels that said the date and description of the art pieces, beyond the artist name and piece title which was provided. We stayed about an hour which was enough to see all the rooms. Browser the gift shop which had books, art prints, leather and jewellery items. I’d recommend visiting this museum, even in you have young kids.

Really cool exposition of local art and historical art. The curators on site are very helpful and knowledgeable. Parking is easy and abundant and the site is easy to spot off the main road. There was a kids section that was interactive. Its worth the small admission fee.

Took about an hour to walk through and one of the couriers walked the museum with us, giving us tid bits of information along the way! He was very kind and knowledgeable. The art work was gorgeous and memorable.

A little small for a museum, but great non the less for the area. Free for Veterans.

A very nice museum for western themed art and artifacts. Beautiful furniture, sculptures and paintings. I like seeing recent and current generations of artists keeping the genre alive. My GPS directed me to the "back" entrance which wound around and through residential; would be nice if signage/arrows were offered for all ways in, not just the main entrance since mapping info may send people through the "neighborhood".
