The McNay Art Museum is a mid-sized cultural institution in San Antonio, Texas, founded as Texas’s first museum of modern art when it opened in 1954 after Marion Koogler McNay built her Spanish Colonial Revival residence in the 1920s. It houses more than 20,000 works and presents rotating displays in the Main Collection Galleries, while its 45,000-square-foot Jane & Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions hosts three major exhibitions each year. The 23-acre grounds feature outdoor sculptures by artists including Kiki Smith, Joel Shapiro, George Rickey, and Luis Jiménez Jr., enhancing the museum’s blend of art, architecture, and landscape. It attracts about 150,000 visitors annually and offers education programs for adults, teachers, students, and families. It operates within the museum sector, providing access to works by modern masters and a program of education and outreach aimed at a broad audience including adults, teachers, students, and families. In 2025, the institution announced leadership changes, including the appointment of a new Head of Development, illustrating ongoing organizational activity.
