Great, free contemporary art collection
The Ballroom Marfa is a free attraction ($10 donation requested) that takes up to an hour to enjoy. Due to COVID, to limit individuals inside the small museum at one time, you need to pre-reserve a free time slot on their website in advance. Although small, the art was thought provoking and the space was well thought out and presented. If you are looking to experience Marfa’s art, I would recommend setting a time aside to visit.

Main art museum in Marfa
Excellent curatorship. We liked the exhibits but the level of artists really varies. The front desk person was quite helpful. A must visit if you like art. Entrance is free but donations are encouraged.
