Discover a world of art and history!



Wow, this place is truly amazing! Tickets were $20 and worth every penny. I didn't expect to see so many artifacts from Rome, Egypt, Greece, and many other places around the world. The Egyptian exhibit was particularly impressive, and if you're interested in Greek ceramics or Roman sculptures, you'll have a lot to see.

The art exhibits were fantastic too. There were artworks from all over America at the 'Made in America' exhibit, and it was very interesting to look at them! The European art exhibit was truly impressive, with some paintings dating back to the 15th century!

This is a great stop in San Antonio, and you'd be missing out if you didn't check it out!
