4.5 (292 reviews) Monday: Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #3 in Kerrville Art Museums
Hill Country gem
The Museum of Western Art, formerly the Cowboy Artist of America Museum, is open Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. It is located 65 miles NW of San Antonio just off I-10, and is a short drive from downtown Kerrville. Larger-than-life style western bronzes dot the exterior grounds. There are several galleries inside (allow 90 minutes to go through), showcasing artwork by craftsmen and women who have devoted their artistic career to preserving the legends of the American West. Young children will enjoy the Journey West Children's Gallery, a hands-on interpretive experience of life on a wagon train. A small museum store sells prints and original art done by local artists along with other western memorabilia. An extensive western research library is on site as well. An annual art sale and exhibition is held each fall.

Great examples of Western paintings and bronzes
We are retired, and this is a great place to visit during the week. No crowds,helpful staff and beautiful grounds. I don’t think children would enjoy standing around and Looking at pictures. But for people with a little time, time to stand and enjoy the art, this is a very nice place.

Amazing building and permanent collection of western art sculpture.
I go here often just to see the building and grounds the art is housed in. The bronzes are exceptional and in addition to a permanent collection, there is ever-changing visiting artist shows. If you love western art this is a must-visit place.
